Review quotes

"It may become a favorite for many because of the accessibility of its information, its concise and authoritative clinical material, and not least, because it so frequently offers good illustrations of uncommon entities that are sparsely depicted, if at all, in other books...Beautifully edited and elegantly produced...a comprehensive and excellent guide to liver-biopsy interpretation."—NEJM (review of the 1st edition)

"…this book provides the tools to tackle challenging biopsy specimens with greater confidence." American Journal of Clinical Pathology (review of the 2nd edition)

"In summary, the Atlas of Liver Pathology, Second Edition provides a large number of high-quality photomicrographs with accompanying clinical text. The figures present clear examples of liver histopathology while the text provides enough information to provide a clinical correlation." -- Practical Gastroenterology, (review of the 2nd edition)

"Once again, the authors have delivered a concise, superbly illustrated atlas of liver pathology. With updates of new information, the addition of more pictures and tables, the third edition is a welcome addition to the library of anyone studying liver disease."- Maura F. O'Neil, MD, Doody’s Review Service, 5 Stars!
