'Although there are many excellent hematopathology books on the market, those dedicated to pediatric hematolopathology are few and this book is a valuable contribution to the field. The text is well written and concise, and it can be used as a quick reference. I find chapters covering the bone marrow failure syndromes and inherited leukocyte disorders to be particularly useful. I would recommend this book to anyone signing out hematopathology specimens from pediatric patients.' Anamarija Perry, Doody's Reviews
