I would personally not recommend this textbook for the following reasons: The chapters are organized in a confusing way with chapters organized not based on organ but on disease type. Certain chapters are certainly better than others with the liver, pancreas and extrabiliary tract being particulary better than those covering the small and large intestine. The photographs are in certain cases adequate and in others are too small and hard to interpret. Overall, I would not buy this book given the high price but may consider using it as an ancillary text

This all-in-one textbook of GI pathology is one of the best textbook in the field. There is very few (if not none) textbooks combining GI, pancreas and liver into one volumne. The authors, however, presented with a comprehensive review on the surgical pathology of the three organs and the informations are quite updated. The review on GERD, IBD, neuroendocrine tumors are some of the well-written summary on the current status of the diseases.

This should be useful book for revision by those who are going to sit for exit examinations. It is also useful for practising pathologist in their daily work.
