The succinct description of the inset images are well synchronised with clear diction of the detailed clinical commentaries which facilitate integrated learning and reporting - the vital conduit that bridges the bench to the bedside. The whittling down of different diagnoses based on morphological features, along with the warnings about possible pitfalls in many cases, is a true bonus...This book is a 'must have' on the bookshelf of all clinicians and scientists who identify haematology as their calling and vocation.
