Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - awesome book!
This book is well written with up-to-date information. There are a lot of tables and excellent photographs. I found this book to be very helpful on my neuropathology rotation.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad
Not bad with fine big size good quqlity illustrations but falls somewhat short due to its brevity. Too much non tumour pathology and not enough tumour pathology if we take into consideration the daily practice of a general pathologist.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - From surgical pathologist
This book is excellent a must have for all pathology residents.My only objection is the poor quality of some pictures in the chapter non glial tumors.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic review text
This is an excellent book. It has been written in a succint, straight-forward manner. It serves as an excellent primary educational tool for anatomic pathology residents learning fundamental neuropathology. The summary tables, large, clear color images, and well-referenced text make this the perfect resource for the day-to-day practice of neuropathology.
