This midsized, spiral bound, ~600 page book is a real treasure trove. It is a remarkably comprehensive atlas of photomicroscopic images spanning the vast majority of hematological diseases/disorders. This would be an excellent teaching guide for MLT or MLS students or those in practice. It would be a great atlas to have readily available on the bench of a clinical hematology laboratory for easy reference. Doody's Reviews Valerie L.
