This book is essential reading and reference for any statistical methodologist with interest in case-control studies...This book is a very good place to start on the next leg of our statistical journey in this field. Nicholas P. Jewell, ISCB Newsletter . . . as a handbook, it is designed to address specific methodological issues, more like a toolbox. And this is done well. All chapters come with an introduction and a worked example using sample data, with ample reference to further details. Occasional chapters on unconventional study designs provide food for thought. Overall, the book is well written and very comprehensive; it provides help for many situations, and for situations of greater complexity it points to further references.
