4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, April 20, 2009

By	Brian Davis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
