In 1990 VCH Publishers, New York, etc. had published a book which
is apparently the same, as this book: R.D. Rogers, "Computational
Chemistry Using the P.C.", although now there is the name of
another publisher. Some two years later I was asked by one of the
scientific journals in the field to write a review about it.
However, from not very clear reasons (or too clear ones: the
publisher of the book and of the journal were the same) it was
not printed there. Finally, my book review appeared in a special
issue devoted to mathematical and computational chemistry of the
journal Croatica Chemica Acta (vol. 66, issue 1, pp A1-A2).
I wish not repeat all my criticism expressed there - there were
serious problems with the basic notions of quantum mechanics and
even freshman's math - only quote my conclusion:

"Keep it out of reach of the students".
