From the book reviews:

“This book is designed to help clinicians diagnose and treat the various types of headaches from the various migraine syndromes through the numerous presentations of headache and structural causes of headaches. … the audience for this book includes experienced neurologists to new primary care clinicians. … This is an extraordinarily well-written book on a common diagnosis that is frequently accompanied by significant patient anxiety and emotion.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2014)
