Continuing the approach established in 1989, this new edition successfully delivers the voluminous literature of hematopathology into a concise source of guidelines which features liberal use of quick look-up tables and detailed diagnostic algorithms, and is substantially expanded to reflect two major trends in diagnosis: lab-ready molecular genetic modalities and the new 2008 WHO Classification for malignancies. With separate volumes for benign and malignant disorders, each chapter is very well illustrated, and follows a practical, modular format to make finding specific information easy.
