This is by far one of the worst, if not the very worst, textbook I have ever had the misfortune to spend money on.On one page I counted 5 typos, 5 sentence fragments, and three sentences that made no sense, as in were circular in logic or just didn't make any grammatical sense.The whole book is like that.In addition, they fail to define significant terms and rely excessively on acronyms, which are also either undefined, or defined *once* in the body of a paragraph, two chapters back.I have noticed that there are instances where the information is just plain wrong, which is unsurprising. If they can't even proofread, I don't expect accuracy.But the one thing that infuriated me the most was the diarrhea of peripheral information crammed in in place of better explication of actual hematological processes. For example, the fact that a mutation that causes x change in y gene, occurs two thirds of the way down on the long leg of chromosome 14 takes up page space. It is too vague to be useful in a lab setting, and meaningless otherwise. Why include it?! The text is FULL of crap factoids like that. And not enough explanation of actual hematology.If you want excellent alternatives, the Harmening or Rodak books are much better!Just for full disclosure, I am a veterinarian, so I have read dozens of clinical texts to compare this with.

The book is brand new and it's an affordable price !! I purchase this book for my Laboratory Med Uni course, the book is very helpful in my learning for Hematology. The text book also contains an access code to also access the textbook online, so you don't have to carry the textbook to uni all the time. Also online has additional quizzes and tests, very helpful when tests and exam is coming up.

very clean book
