ISBN: 0-8151-2746-4

A comprehensive textbook of bone tumor pathology covering the biological, clinical and radiological aspects of bone tumors. The introductory chapters are particularly useful for those new to the area. The quality of the radiographs and both light and electron micrographs is high. The text is clear and reflects the vast depth and breadth of experience of the authors. It is a useful book for practical reporting as well as a source of knowledge on more theoretical issue. The only weak point is the index which can be frankly misleading. Overall however, it is an excellent book which is to be recommended too all interested in bone tumors, whichever their background.
