"The book is well organised, with clear chapter headings and a good index. The text is well written and well edited, making it easy both to read large sections in one sitting without needing to reread, and to dip in and out of the text to find answers to specific queries. ... All the illustrations are in colour and are of excellent quality. ... highly recommended, both as a study aid and as a day-to-day reference for practising pathologists." (Eve Fryer, The Bulletin of The Royal College of Pathologists, Issue 170, April, 2015)
