 Useful and worth buying, but with one major drawback July 17, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
The content of this book is adequate and it is written in an easy-to-read, flowing style. It could use some more tables for comparison of immuno. panels to help in differential diagnoses, but over-all it is a decent and very helpful everyday reference. The index, however, has much to be desired. Many immunoperoxidase stains are not listed individually in a catalog style, nor are the specific cells/organs/organ structures that they stain, so unless you already know what entity a specific stain is used for or know alternate diagnoses or names, you may not be able to find it. You can't just look up a specific stain you may have heard about and want to research further. The index is a critical component of a well-written book and is just as important as text it represents--it's no use having a book full of information if you can't find what you need. I hope this issue is addressed in the next edition, in which case then, this book may reach the status of excellent.
 Must Have Textbook March 12, 2004

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.
