Haemoglobinopathy Diagnosis

Excellent reference with great illustrations and explanations.

Barbara Bain's textbook will become a classic. It has everything one needs to diagnose and think about hemoglobin disorders. It is well illustrated and very well written. A must for all benign hematologist.

While this book seems to have just about any information you could possibly want regarding hemoglobinopathies, the information could be a little better organized; plus, the index is not very easy to navigate.

No question that if you regularly interpret hemoglobin electrophoresis, then you must have this book at your disposal. Dr. Bain is the Kathy Foucar of Britian and has created an excellent resource with lots of useful tables, diagrams and pictures. The latest edition is not much different than the last edition, so if you have the previous edition, no real need for this one. But if you don't have a good resource for hemoglobinopathies and need one, this is definitely the way to go.
