This latest volume of proceedings from a Scottish Universities Summer School covers a wide range of topics, many at the forefront of current research in Physics, which the editors enthusiastically refer to as Quantum Toys. Certainly there is a sense of playfulness and relative simplicity in the way many topics are addressed by the distinguished authors of the eleven main chapters. The result is a book covering what is at times fairly advanced material, at a level and with a lucidity that will be particularly attractive to newcomers in the field. Amongst those topics are to be found cavity QED, quantum wells, squeezed light, Bell's theorem and Bose - Einstein condensation. It is good to see more molecular material being reflected in the contents - discovering the relationship between squeezing and Franck - Condon factors was for me a pleasant surprise, surpassed only by the first autostereogram I have ever been able to decode. Personally I do not find the eighteen pages devoted to poster abstracts and participant addresses at all useful - most purchasers would rather have £ 5 off!
