Benjamin Spock, M.D., practiced pediatrics in New York City from 1933 to 1947. He then became a medical teacher and researcher at the Mayo Clinic, the University of Pittsburgh, and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. The author of eleven books, he was a political activist for causes that vitally affect children: disarmament, day care, schooling, housing, and medical care for all. He had two sons, a stepdaughter, and four grandchildren. Dr. Spock, who died March 15, 1998, at age ninety-four, was married to Mary Morgan. Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care has been translated into thirty-nine languages and has sold fifty million copies worldwide since its first publication in 1946.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best way to raise kids

Dr Spock, still a great read and still great advice. This is the best selling book in the US (after the Bible, of course), updated by other doctors for the 21st century, but basically unchanged. This was an antique copy I bought for its historical value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely wrong edition
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2012

The product I ordered was the original edition of Dr. Benjamin Spock's 1946 "Common Sense book of baby and child care." The product I received is the much less exciting 1976 revised edition of the book. I am HUGELY disappointed. I specifically need the 1946 copy and was thrilled to find out that it was available for such a reasonable price. Original copies are not easy to come by, and as a historian, edition dates matter. I won't return this book because it's too much of a hassle, but I would never have purposely bought this edition. FALSE advertising. You should make sure your products match what Amazon is advertising them as. THUMBS DOWN!
