We need a book like this but without the mistakes! by ADHA  1 Stars
July 07, 2009
If the mistakes were limited to spelling one could make do, but that is not the case. The most one can use this book for is as a guide/outline of what topics to cover when studying. Otherwise, I urge those studying for the pathology board exam to avoid this book; it is full of wrong information. For example, tables T2.5 pg 110 and T2.8 on pg 113 contain wrong information, and the definition of the indirect antiglobulin test on pg 118 is wrong. It is surprising that the ASCP would publish a book of such poor quality.

Too telegraphic by J. Mcclure (Edina, MN USA)  2 Stars
March 03, 2009
As a practicing pathologist the Quick Compendium series is just too superficial and telegraphic to be of much help. I think the goal of putting such a huge content area into a small volume is just too ambitious. I've pretty much stopped looking in the set and I turn to Lexicomp (online) or I use another specialty specific reference.

Sharper look, harder read by K. C. Shaw 2 Stars
September 27, 2008
Compared to the previous edition, the 2nd ed feels more difficult to read, which is unfortunate for a condensed review type book. It LOOKS nicer than the 1st ed, but reads like a more dense reference type book. Probably better used if you have a lot of time prior to board exams or want to review something specific, rather than as a cram/review book a month or weeks before boards.

great review book by Caerus Maximus  5 Stars
June 04, 2008
Clinical pathology can be a daunting area for many residents, especially in regards to board preparation. However, the information in the book is high yield and it is presented in a concise and straight to the point manner. The tables are very useful. A good review book is of great help to anyone who finds CP sometimes confusing and abstract.

a new 2nd edition available in 2008 from ASCP by C. Chang (Cincinnati, OH)  4 Stars
February 17, 2008
I own the second edition of this book. It is greatly expanded, and has now become online (as all of the rest of the Compendium series from ASCP). The new edition, along with 2 other books, are being sold online from ASCP for around $300 as a 3 vol. set (member price).
The new 2nd edition is greatly expanded (I've seen the first edition from friends). The book and the surgical path compendium are all bullet points. Very few pix. The strengths of the book are
1. Short paragraphs and get to the point.
2. Not meant to learn the material in the first time. strictly review
3. Up to date (plus the online part, which is not activated by me yet, more review on that later; you get a series number at the front or back of the hard cover book, like the AFIP atlas series).
4. Sturdy; I don't like soft cover books too much.
Lows:
1. Getting too big for serious cramming sessions for the board. By the time you finish reading this, you may not have time for anything right before the boards. Perhaps this is all you need, since surg path tend to be most residents' strength.
2. Minor typos. Proof-reading is still important. I'm surprised that the errors are not caught.
