Reviews
"The five years that have elapsed since the last edition of the volume have seen phenomenal advances in our knowledge of hepatological disorders. This exceptionally well-presented volume gives an excellent perspective of current knowledge based on an outstanding list of contributions which will find wide usage on the laboratory bench, as
well as in the consulting rooms of those caring for liver patients." BMA Awards 2007
"The standard of illustrations - both 'line art' and photographic - are excellent, and the layout of each chapter is aesthetically pleasing. Reading this impressive reference text becomes a joy, rather than a chore, and the subject is really brought to life!"
"I can definitely recommend MacSween's to surgical pathology and forensic pathology trainees alike, and it should certainly be purchased for the departmental library." www.forensicmed.co.uk, 2007
