Reviews

'The whole book is well written and is a valuable addition to the literature … It is essential purchase for all libraries maintaining a collection in algebraic geometry, and strongly recommended for individual researchers and graduate students with an interest in vector bundles.' Peter Newstead, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
