There have been a number of notable books on lymph node pathology in the past but this book is undoubtedly the best I have had the pleasure to read.....I have tried to decide why I think this is such a good book and, in the end, I think it comes down to two things. Firstly, the appropriateness and quality of the colour illustrations which I could not fault. Secondly, the differential diagnosis sections which tell you what to look for in the H&E sections, how immunohistochemistry can help you make the distinction between similar entities....are just what practising pathologists need and why I can see myself referring to this as a bench book for many years to come Dr Jonathan Salisbury, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, No 106, April 1999
