Good reference and teaching manual- By: , 30 Jun 2001 The new edition of this book is more comprehensive than the last edition - more photos & the section on haematology finishes it off nicely. If you approach this as a pick & point guide to cytology, you'll not only be disappointed but you'll get it wrong. If you take the time to sit & actually read it it is an incredibly helpful guide. I have other cytology books, & whilst I don't think this one is the ultimate, it comes near the top. It sits on my lab bench & is opened most every day (either by me or my lab techs). Indispensible!
