The decision to buy this book is one of the most apt I have ever made in the medical school. Paulsen gives the rather abstract histology a vivid approach, that engulfs just what is required.

However , illustrations are lacking and because of its compactness, no sentence is to be ignored. Consequently , progress is not very significant and thus inappropriate to rush through the day before the exam.

This book is so good...! I bought the 4th edition. It helps a lot particularly in preparing for exams. It helps in filling the gap when you thought you knew what you need to know if you understand what I mean!!!!...By far I prefer it than the BRS which is not helping you in directing your reading when you need to master a concept. It saves me a lot on my study time by re-directing me from reading to mastery...If they had other ones like that for the other basic science subjects, I would not hesitate to buy...The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars it lacks in diagrams and colours. It is a bit abrupt which does not suit my learning style. I would be so grateful if they would add some colours to the charts and make it more fun with drawings, cartoons and colourful diagrams...

I bought both this book and BRS Cell Biology and Histology for review and used them mainly as a source for practice questions. I found that the questions in this book is much better and more challenging than those in the BRS book.

I am a little bit disappointed about this book; not the good reference book for histological stains/skills. Very few pictures of histological stains. This is more a cell biology book. The title is somewhat misleading. I do not mean it is not a good book, though. Buying from Amazon is somewhat risky; maybe it is better that you should have read the book physically before you buy from Amazon.

This book has helped me understand and piece together my professors' lectures! Awesome purchase....granted one of my professors is the author!Lucky Me!

This seller did a very good job. The service was speedy, the book was well protected and in good condition as described. I will purchase other bookers from this seller and reccommend others to do so.
