Reviews

"This is an excellent reference book for those of us who work in the world of blood groups, whether in research or in reference laboratories. As with the first edition, the second edition of Human Blood Groups provides readily accessible information on all aspects of blood group antigens and their relevance in transfusion medicine." Immunohaematology "This is one of the most comprehensible books that I have ever read on any subject within the world of Transfusion Science, and i would reiterate that, even if your book budget is minute, this is the one to buy."
