"I have caused my university library to purchase a copy of Handbook of Chenometrics and Qualimetrics, and I believe that all serious groups working in chenometrics will feel the need to own the two volumes...For those long ensconced in chenometrics, browsing these books will not fail to impress with the breadth and complexity of the subject." --Chenometrics & Intelligent Laboratory Systems, Vol. 49, 1999
