REVIEW OF PREVIOUS EDITION
"A classic primer of medical education...A current, succinct, and easily comprehensible text, which covers the essence of human pathology. Medical students and course directors will certainly appreciate the new edition. The authors should be commended on the continued improvement of a respected teaching resource."

I have "Big Robbins" 7th ed and really thought it was excessive for a 2nd-yr medical student - yes, even to honor the course. This edition (8th) of "baby robbins" is excellent. It hits virtually all the topics covered in lecture, save for a handful that are covered well enough in class (at our school, anyways) or in Big Robbins (which you can just look up as a reference in the library). The order of topics within a chapter might not always coincide with lecture order (although they usually do), but hey, we're in med. school, so that's a part of our lives we must accept. Pictures/images are superb, but by no measure comprehensive, so I wouldn't rely solely on these images if your school includes "lab" images in your test(s). It is extremely well-written as pertains ease of comprehension, whereas Big Robbins just seems to talk around the topic before it gets to the point. Therefore, if your med path course recommends the Robbins line of texts, I say stick with baby robbins (assuming you are actually going to read it and not just use it as a reference). In summary, READ baby robbins, but if needed use Big Robbins as reference.
