Effective ways to grow single crystals for single crystal x-ray diffraction of small molecules

Why is it important?
Without Single crystals, the absolute structure can not be determined from X-ray diffraction.
Perspectives
This paper is a description of 30 years of helping chemist, organic, inorganic and material chemist work on getting single crystal for single crystal X-ray determination. It is highly touted by chemists that especially do not know what single crystal growth for X-ray diffraction is about and how to go about it. It even contains some things that an experience crystal grower may not know about, since it has been added to every year.
