Report
"The abundant color images, easy-to-follow tables and charts, and logical organization of the book, combined with its price, make this a necessity for the library of practising small animal veterinarians." (Journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 December 2012)"There are clearly labelled examples of cytology preparations for almost every condition, meaning there are no excuses not to dust down the microscope and start carrying out impression smears and Sellotape strips on a daily basis." (Veterinary Record, 26 May 2012)"I recommend that this book be put on the clinic bookshelves of general practices, close to the other well-known BSAVA manuals." (Aquivet Clinique Vétérinaire, 1 September 2012)
