This article will give an overview on the normal- and superconducting-state properties of organic superconductors. There are a number of review articles on this subject - most of them focus on either the quasi-one-dimensional or two-dimensional materials. The intention of the present review is therefore to provide a discussion which covers aspects common to both families on the same footing. Instead of reviewing the whole diversity of behaviors found among the various compounds with all their structural and chemical modifications, we will mainly focus on selected compounds of both families. These are the most extensively studied and best characterized (TMTSF)_2X and (BEDT-TTF)_2X salts whose properties are representative for a wide class of materials. Special attention is paid to the more recent developments including the controversial discussions of some aspects, in particular the discussion on the nature and symmetry of the superconducting state.
