Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Useful and worth buying, but with one major drawback
The content of this book is adequate and it is written in an easy-to-read, flowing style.

Rating:  - Must Have Textbook
This reference is a must have! If you are a surgical pathologist and do not have this textbook you are setting yourself up to fail. It is extremely well written and with all the color photos it is a great value for the money. I probably use this text more than any other reference textbook. The insight gleened from reading this text has saved me on a number of challenging cases. The tables are excellent and easy to read. I can't wait for the next edition.
