"Already in the Preface (on page XIII) the authors declare that their book is 'unusual and unconventional'. Indeed it is! Contrary to many other existing monographs concerned with chemical graph theory or its selected special topics, this book is full of interesting, unusual, and surprising excursions, making its reading a great pleasure. Everywhere in the book, we find historical details and anecdotes, related to physics, chemistry, physical chemistry, and mathematics, often coming from Milan Randic's personal experience. Colleagues interested in philosophy of science (or philosophy in general) will also find a wealth of intriguing ideas. For these colleagues we especially recommend Chapter 14, and its sections 'On Beauty in Science' and 'Sleeping Giants'. The same chapter will be a gold mine for scholars interested in the history of chemistry . . .
In summary, 'Solved and Unsolved Problems of Structural Chemistry' is a valuable treatise, outlining practically all facets of the research of Milan Randic in various areas of chemical graph theory. ... this book should be a valuable item in the personal library of all those who ever did any work or ever had any interest in chemical graph theory."
- Ivan Gutman, Match: Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry, 2016.
"The book is foremost readable, copiously and suitably illustrated, and set out in a logical manner... I would recommend this book to someone interested in chemical graph theory with any level of knowledge of physical chemistry."

"Along 14 chapters and a large number of appendices (23!),the volume quite well printed by CRC Press essentially develops the problems related with the connection of graph theory with molecular structure and chemistry. [...] The book is interesting enough to be worth reading and alternatively constitutes quite an important consulting tool."
