From the reviews:

“This book highlights several exciting new discoveries in this field and describes the underlying physics, nanofabrication issues, and the materials considerations involved in designing plasmonic devices with new functionality. The book is aimed at researchers and students interested in entering the field of plasmon nanophotonics, while serving as a reference to scientists who are already active in this area of research. It is written at the level of a first-year graduate student.” (Hsiung Hsu, Optics and Photonics News, November, 2008)
