This textbook was recommended by our local OB-GYN specialist. We reviewed it and agreed prior to shipping them to all of the teaching universities we have been working with in Romania. Nearly 1500 pages of practical and intelligent information in an easy to read format.

This is an excellent book that is well written. It is part of my required books for my certified nurse midwifery program at Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. I highly recommend it.

I'm a certified-nurse midwife and I love this book. It's pretty much everything that's in the medical text, Obstetrics: Normal and Problem Pregnancies, minus the research data.
It's small and portable and actually a pleasure to read.
I hope there's an updated version coming out soon - this one was published in 2002.

There are two texts that are considered the most authoritative on the subject of Obstetrics. Williams is edited by the staff at Parkland, the largest Obstetric hospital in the U.S. and not surprisingly, they consider their text to be "the premier source for the specialty". Williams is also academically dry.
Gabbe, by comparison, is easier to read and covers essentially the same material. This text is written in a way that that I feel you don't have to be an OB Geek to follow the various points. This is NOT to say that Gabbe is "OB for Dummies" or a cliff-notes version of an OB text: As Department Head of OB/GYN at a Major Hospital, I find Gabbe both authoritative and complete.
Cutting to the chase: Gabbe is easier to read than Williams, and if you need info more in-depth, you should already be a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology anyway (or at least a junior fellow), which means that you're accessing the ACOG website on-line anyway.
