A mere $36 bux is definately worth the money to buy a NEW ED. BRS path book. You will be using it tremendously for boards as well. I would definately pitch in the money and get a newer edition--don't jeapordize your knowledge for a scanty few dollars--get it!!

As far as I know, the 2nd edition (the one you have provided a link for) is the latest edition. Please advise, if I am incorrect. Thanks
Newest edition is the Red Cover 2002 as far as I know and I have not looked at the older edition and so can't comment on differences.
I do know that when I read Robbins I am usually left with some gaping holes in concepts and mechanisms (mostly due to boredom) and BRS Path does a good job in filling them.
I plan on attending Systemic Path class for the "Big Picture" and then reading BRS Path and Goljan Rapid Review Path while commiting the info to memory and using Robbins as a reference for topics I want deeper information on "and the pictures of course). I will make notes in BRS to use for Step 1 review.
I will certainly continue to do the Robbin's Review questions as we cover each subject as has been recommended here countless times.

To answer this question I think if you go back and read some of the step 1 reviews, books used and scores you will run out and get a new edition. It seems FA and BRS Path are pretty much the top recommended books by the people with awesome scores that contribute here.

Path BRS = HIGH YIELD. Without a doubt worth the money!

I don't know the answer to your question littlelimabean. But I will say, however, if the new BRS Path isn't out by the time you START second year, get the "old" (2nd) edition.
BRS Path 2nd ed. is a great book and you do NOT want to waste time when you could be studying from it. Book releases seem to always get pushed back anyway, so you're best bet is finding a good source EARLY and memorizing it as opposed to waiting for the new edition.
When it does come out, you can thumb through it and pick out any key points that were omitted from the older edition. BRS 2nd ed. still has tons of molecular bio integrated into it, which is key in terms of studying path (like knowing that SLE is assoc'd with HLA-DR2/3 and IDDM with HLA-DR3/4).
Best,

I have BRS path, and i ordered the Rapid Review by Goljan (thanks for the heads up idiopathic and RLMD) ; Ill try to use both, we'll see. The questions 450 questions in RR cant hurt; I love review books, I dont really use any textbooks ever; so maybe having some extra review books for path wont be so bad.
