From the book reviews: "This is a compendium of methods and protocols in histopathology. ... this book would be of interest to histotechnologists, anatomical pathologists (in training or practice), pathologist assistants or anyone interested in the diagnostic process of anatomical pathology. ... This is a very useful book to standardize handling of various tissues in an anatomical pathology service." (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2014)
