I read this book in preparation for a trip to the Mutter Museum. This book did not disappoint and really explained the legacy of Dr. Mutter. Unfortunately, the museum had very little of his work displayed. I have actually seen more of his work on loan at other museums.

I had heard of Dr. Mutter before, but I had no idea how influential and compassionate he truly was. His story is incredible and this book presents it in an engaging and informative way.
