Doody's Rating: * * * * First impression -- this book is absolutely
beautiful. It is replete with color photomicrographs and the color
reproduction is excellent and faithful. It is a delight simply to
look at the pictures. Once past this initial impression, the
factual excellence of this book emerges..This book is going right
next to my microscope. I will carry it with me for reference
whenever I want my Wright-Giemsa stained preparation evaluated by
my partner who has the Pap stain counterpart. It's a great
book.
Weighted Numerical Score: 92 "In conclusion, this is a beautiful
text filled not only with excellent illustrations of effusion
cytology, but also with a broad range of experience that these
authors have working with these specimens." - Advances in Anatomic
Pathology, 2008
