A new entry in the comprehensive textbooks of surgical pathology, Modern Surgical Pathology is well written resulting in an easy read. It was also the first of the major surg path textbooks to include a CD rom. The CD rom contains additional images that are not in the book supplementing the reader's leraning. I originally bought this book because all of the other residents had Rosai, Silverberg, or Sternberg and I figured that I could always have access to the other texts, however, I have preferred to read Modern Surgical Pathology.
