"This is a uniquely presented book that provides average pathologists a window into the analysis and diagnostic process that leading liver experts use when working up challenging liver cases. The illustrations and discussions support the final diagnosis and criteria by which one evaluates the cases. As a pathologist who sees liver biopsies, I read this book with the same enthusiasm I read a novel and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with an interest in liver pathology."-Doody's Reviews
