"Although this book is clearly orientated to bedside problems, it never fails to explain the usefulness and limitations of laboratory investigations. Such a book is probably needed even more now than it was in 1958 and ... this edition will continue to fill the need admirably ... it remains the best haematology reference for the general physician" British Medical Journal
