"I like this book and I can see myself using it frequently in my routine diagnostic work, multidisciplinary team meetings and teaching.

Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology is a great book series. The format, text and layout are great. However, I do have one serious complaint: why in this age of imaging do they continue to allow a few pixelated or out of focus photos make it into their printed books? Most of the images are very good, but every once in a while you'll come across an image that is so bad it makes the old black and white images in Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract seem high tech. Bottom line - would I recommend this book? YES.

I don't actually own this book myself, but one of the attendings in my program just got it. He has been using it and says it is very comprehensive. The tables are excellent for quick reference and get you right to what you need to see. I have used other books in this series and have yet to be disappointed. A good buy at the price as well.

You can leave the Crum for more in-depth consults but you can take this one with you on your surg path rotations. This series has good gems, also recommended the volumes on Breast, Heme, Soft Tissue, GI and Renal. Other residents in my program also recommended the Head & Neck volume. Typical of this series: excellent organization and highlights of important points.
