Biopsy Interpretation of Bone and Bone Marrow is a second, completely revised edition of a similar book published in 1985 by the same authors, but the book also resembles the Atlas of Bone Marrow Pathology published in 1990 by these authors.

In 31 chapters, the authors give a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic features of most disorders of the bone and bone marrow. After four introductory chapters, nine chapters are entirely dedicated to bone diseases. In chapter 14, metastic bone disease is described, and in the following chapters most bone marrow disorders including the lymphoproliferative disorders are described. Sometimes, an introductory chapter precedes more specific chapters.
