This book provides a comprehensive and fully referenced description of the serology, inheritance, biochemistry, molecular genetics, and biological significance of human red blood cell antigens and the cell surface structures that carry them. Also detailed are the characteristics of the antibodies which define the blood groups and their clinical significances, particularly as related to the field of transfusion medicine. The book was conceived as a successor to the classic "Blood Groups in Man" by Race and Sanger, and is no less comprehensive. It will be the standard reference for hematologists and geneticists.

Review
"This is an excellent reference book for those of us who work in the world of blood groups, whether in research or in reference laboratories. As with the first edition, the second edition of Human Blood Groups provides readily accessible information on all aspects of blood group antigens and their relevance in transfusion medicine." Immunohaematology
"This is one of the most comprehensible books that I have ever read on any subject within the world of Transfusion Science, and i would reiterate that, even if your book budget is minute, this is the one to buy." British Blood Transfusion Society Newsletter --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
