This substantial volume certainly captures the breadth and depth of the challenges related to the development of multi-dimensional optical storage. There are some linguistic blemishes in the text, and several of the figures (seemingly imported from elsewhere) are of relatively poor quality. In the opinion of this reviewer, this book is best seen as a research monograph. It has potential for use by cross-disciplinary researchers aspiring to enhance optical storage capabilities.
