Those who are interested in cytology, at all levels of experience, are notoriously fond of atlases. The neophyte nourishes a belief that a set of images and (relatively) brief text will quickly lead to competence, whereas the expert hopes that there will be help with a difficult diagnostic problem, or the aesthetic enjoyment of images more beautiful than any in their experience. The "Atlas of Diagnostic Cytopathology" (second edition) edited by Barbara F Atkinson alludes to these disparate audiences in the preface, stating that the work is for "cytopathology residents, fellows, cytotechnology students, and ....experienced cytopathologists". The first two categories are likely to judge a book by its brevity and clarity, and the last by comparison with their favourites of the genre, such as the works of Orell, DeMay, or Lopes Cardozo.
