Review quotes

‘I find it difficult to believe that one individual could produce such an outstanding textbook, and Dr.Rosai is to be congratulated.… This text has been and continues to be the standard.’ – Human Pathology

‘Dr Ackerman… your star student Juan Rosai has surpassed you! In that process, he has also surpassed himself. By that I mean that he has produced a book that outshines all previous editions. He has also set the bar of excellence to anew and so far unattained height, proving beyond any reasonable doubt that he is not only the leading surgical pathologist of my generation but also a first class medical writer par excellence.’ - Modern Pathology

"I pronounce it without reservation as the best of all the major textbooks in this field. It is still the best surgical pathology textbook for novices entering the specialty. All my residents have bought a personal copy and I hope that many others will follow their example. It is an ideal book to learn the basics, to grow on and retain for later practice. I still enjoy reading it and using it as the first consult for any case requiring some additional reading. Thus, I also recommend it to practicing pathologists as the best desktop reference. It is also the single best refresher for recertification or for just keeping abreast with the latest developments in surgical pathology. I hope that it will be on the shelves of all general medical libraries as the definitive textbook of surgical pathology." - Doody's review service 5 star rating! Ivan Damjanov, MD(University of Kansas Medical Center)
