This a great onc resource for any veterinarian- excellent pictures and descriptions. The delivery was speedy. However, the book was supposed to be in brand new condition and was delivered damaged. The front cover looked liked it had been stepped on and was bent back, folded, and scratched.
A must to read for the practitioner May 12, 2009
Juan B. Rosales Raya (Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico)
This is a very usefull book to use as a first reading. May be not for Pathologist, but for Clinicans.
Ideal for pick up data in the office.
 Disappointed February 13, 2009
T. Deihl (IL)
I was very disappointed when this book arrived because it looked like the book had been dropped on the bottom corner before it was shipped. It was dented in like it had been dropped but the box it arrived in was completely fine.
Just as described. December 18, 2008
R. Lanuza (Los Angeles, CA)
The book is great... new full color photos make reading about all these different type of neoplasias a little more bearable.
