This review is from: Biopsy Interpretation of the Gastrointestinal Tract Mucosa (Biopsy Interpretation Series) (Hardcover)

Unfortunately, within a few days of reading this book, the pages have already started to come apart from the binding despite using a rather gentle touch to the book. It would be a satisfactory book otherwise.

GI Pathologist "GDP" (San Jose CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Biopsy Interpretation of the Gastrointestinal Tract Mucosa (Biopsy Interpretation Series) (Hardcover)

As many will have noticed books in GI pathology have recently come out in bunches. I am sorry but I really do not see much of a difference between the thin books (this the other of the Goldblum series, etc) while the larger manuals really are better than the rest of them (Odze, even the old Fenoglio-preiser and Lewin). What is the point of repeating in every case the same things? I mean, the Sternberg's manual does a real good job in his books, as does Weidenr in his 2 volumes. May be relatively small books in specialized areas are really redundant unless they offer a spark of different, bright thinking!
I think publishers should finally realize that what is more important today is how the facts are presented- since the knowledge is already widely available if somebody knows how to read through the pages (many pages often). Look at the Leslie/Wick book on lungs for example: there you have a different way to present dry facts that is more entertaining and useful to our work in surg path! The secret should be in a METHOD of presenting the facts that cuts through the chase if the book has to be practical and not the reiteration of things we all learn during the residency.
