"This is a small book that ought to have an important, and easy to reach, place in every mariner's or yachtsman's seagoing bookshelf."
- Doug Cabral, Martha's Vineyard Times, Martha's Vineyard, MA

"The Doctors Weiss and Jacobs are a couple of magicians as well as noted physicians. They have turned out an invaluable guide to marine medicine which every sailor should have aboard and they have made it compact enough to fit in a pocket. But their magicians' act is that the book is so well presented that it lures the reader into pouring through its pages as though it were popular fiction - a browsing that might save a life some day."
- Walter Cronkite

"Dr. Jacobs has traveled on many journeys, in life and in work. His enthusiasm for boating is well known among his friends and patients - and his work as an internist, gastroenterologist and first rate diagnostician is also well known among his peers in the medical world. Now a new book has been published that combines the two passions of Dr. Jacobs. Titled a Comprehensive Guide to Marine Medicine, this 290 page book... is a must have for anyone who spends time on the water, including powerboat and sailboat operators."
- Mark Alan Lovewell, Vineyard Gazette, Martha's Vineyard, MA
