This continues to be the case and it is this interest in interpret- ing laboratory data relevant to a clinical presentation that haematologists find compelling. This attraction is also evident in clinical laboratory scientists who are likewise drawn to the clinical interface in their roles in data interpretation and quality assurance. Atul Mehta and Keith Gomez have produced a book which absolutely captures the essence of clinical haematology, using a range of clinical histories illustrated with numerous different forms of diagnostic material, from clinical photographs to photomicrographs of blood and bone marrow, CT, MRI, and PET scans, haemoglobin electrophoresis and HPLC, FACS plots, and platelet aggregation, to mention a few. The book takes us through general and malignant hae- matology to haemostasis and thrombosis, and finishes with several scenarios related to quality control and quality assurance. What I really like about this book is the way the cases are presented, such that the reader ends up working through them in a way that replicates the process in real life. I think this book will appeal to trainees in medicine and especially trainees in haematology. There is little doubt that those preparing for exit exams in haematology such as the membership of the Royal College of Pathologists UK, and similar, will find this book helpful. In addition, the book will appeal to clinical scientists, established consultants and specialty grade doctors practising haematology. I would like to congratulate both authors on their book and hope that their readers enjoy working through the cases as much as I did.
