Anyone have a recommendation for a beginners bone pathology book? Ideally, it would be something similar to the biopsy interpretation series.

Not aware of one like that. We used McCarthy's book but last I checked it was out of print, no new edition, and old copies were absurdly expensive. I don't have much call to go looking for bone books, but there is both a tumor and a non-tumor AFIP fascicle for bone & joints. However I don't think I could call them condensed only-what-you-need-for-the-boards/residency type beginner books. There does appear to be a McCarthy bone path book in the differential diagnosis series though, but I don't know anything more about it.

AFIP book is readable.

Folpe and Inwards have a bone and soft tissue book that seems good: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0443066884. I own it but haven't spent much time with it yet to give a full evaluation. It is reasonably priced.

Understanding radiology is very useful for understanding bone pathology. This book was highly recommended by a great bone pathologist colleague of mine: http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Skeletal-Radiology-Clyde-Helms/dp/0721605702
