  • Link to request on RX: Out-of-scope as I am seeking the full book.

This book would be an excellent source on which to update three Featured Articles, which I have contributed greatly to: Virus, Introduction to viruses and Social history of viruses. And also for Virology and History of virology. Graham Beards (talk) 09:39, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

@Graham Beards: Thanks for your request. Would you be ok with an Ebook/pdf copy, or would you prefer a physical copy? (also noting that I'm out of office next week, and will be back on the 30th) RAdimer-WMF (talk) 22:10, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Checking availability, it looks like the physical copy would be easiest. I'll send you an email with next steps. Best, RAdimer-WMF (talk) 22:25, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Thank you. Graham Beards (talk) 08:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
A quick trip through Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library suggests that Wolters Kluwer needs an invitation to join their competitors.
Perlego has several virology textbooks, but not Fields Virology. Fields' has been selected as a Doody’s Core Title for 2025, which indicates that it's one of the best in the field.
Springer offers a number of virology books through TWL, but they are narrower subjects (e.g., Compendium of Phytopathogenic Microbes in Agro-Ecology or Antiviral Innate Immunity, not general virology). WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:53, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
