a classic updated
This updated version of Barbara Bain's classic book, is a must for anyone starting a career in Haematology.
This is a bible for morphology in haematology as you start your career and can be added to with her bone marrow pathology etc. at a later stage.
The expanded sections on immunophenotyping are very useful; however if you've got an old edition of her work I don't think it's worth the money to upgrade, as the majority of the book is very similar.
An excellent book that should be on every haematologists' shelf.

Essential
Dr Bain's tomes remain essential to all those wishing to choose a career in Haematology . There is a sense of logic about her chapters , and her writing , of what may be regarded as a dry subject by some , is skilled enough to keep you interested .
This latest update should be present in every Haem lab throughout the country .
