Review

"An indispensable bench text...Well worth the price, and it is recommended with enthusiasm." --JAMA

"Should have a place on the shelf of every surgical pathologist." --American Journal of Clinical Pathology

"Unquestionably the best surgical pathology textbook available."--Modern Pathology

If I were to recommend only one book (albeit in two volumes) for a histopathology trainee or department to buy, then this would be it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rosai or Sternberg? Pick Rosai., August 26, 2004

By	Homer Wright "Rosette" (Circle, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Unless you plan on purchasing both Rosai and Sternberg, most people at some point decide which one to buy. Since both are roughly the same price and the same length with the same amount of illustrations, it can be difficult to decide. Here is my take. If you're a resident, you'll probably prefer Sternberg because it is easier to read and has better charts and review tables. If you're an older resident or pathologist, Rosai is more comprehensive and thorough, although more laborious to read. Either way, you can't really go wrong as long as it doesn't just collect dust on the shelf. This book truly is excellent and you will not be disappointed if you choose Rosai.

5.0 out of 5 stars The resident's best friend, December 24, 2004

By	Saeed Al-shieban "senior resident" (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read the previous edition and the current one... I found that it is a change from the better to the best. Rosai's surgical pathology is the only dependable text and the easiest to read and review book for the pathology residents. It is not comparabale to the other surgical pathology books because ..simply..it is the best. I realy advise it to the pathology residents and consultants.

5.0 out of 5 stars TIMELESS AND OUTSTANDING, August 13, 2004

By	liver12 "smokin' joe" (UK) - See all my reviews

A benchmark bench reference book for established and trainee pathologists: an histopathology trainee's bible. It is timeless and outstanding. Editors are bang up-to-date and move with the times. See something new down your microscope and can't put your finger on it? It is in Rosai's book. CDRom enclosed.
