"This book covers an enormous amount of material related to breast core biopsies. ... The photographs are a real standout in this book both in terms of technical quality and how well the sequences of images highlight important points in the surrounding text. ... The book does a good job of providing detailed information on a very specific field and presenting it in a format that is user friendly for pathology residents and surgical pathologists."
