Rezensionen

Strengths of this book are the breadth of lesions covered, read-ability, and abundance of excellent photomicrographs. Veterinarians will also appreciate that clinical features, ancillary testing, and progno-sis are described for all of these lesions. Overall, this book fills the niche for a photo-rich atlas of skin cytology beyond what most standard general veterinary cytology textbooks offer. It is a useful and highly digestible treatise organized for quick consultation. I found myself reaching for this book when in need of a quick answer or lesion example, and plan to keep it handy on the bookshelf for years to come.
