What is the difference between Pathology Rapid Review by Goljan
http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=1153685091&meta_id=null
and
Pathology review by Goljan
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...t_1/002-4525090-8205604?v=glance&s=books&st=*

And then I hear there is another one: rapid review for the USMLE step 1
SHEESH--do you guys know which one is better, atleast for the path. Any input about this would help a lot--thanks

The Rapid Review Pathology is newer and better, and takes the place of the STARS version.

The Rapid Review Step 1 is only questions, and is edited by Goljan.

All three are excellent books. The STARS one is about 4 years old, I believe, which is its only downfall.

And the rapid review pathology is the one you mentioned on some of the other posts as having the msot resemblance to your class notes? The RR path is not any less in content than the STARS version, is it? Please advise, thanks so much idio.

It is identical to our class notes. The STARS review book is very similar, but outdated. Goljan's big Pathology book (also by STARS) is not written in outline form, and is, therefore, an easire read for some.

The RR book is not lacking, IMHO.
