WHO books no longer being printed

[LADoc00]

Was told the WHO was getting out the Pathology Tumor Book biz so I got as many as I could unfortunately got this email today:

Hello from Amazon.com.

We are sorry to report that we will not be able to obtain the following
item from your order:

IARC "Pathology And Genetics of Skin Tumours (World Health
Organization Classification of Tumours)"

Looks like the IARC will not be printing any of the planned books. With the demise of the AFIP, some of these books will become very hard to find. Suggest you all buy as many as you can now.

actually i think the WHO books are printed in short, limited spurts. Once the books run out, they don't print any more in anticipation of updated editions.

Not all the WHO books are available now, however many of them are in print. If they are out of print, there is probably a revised edition being made....

some of the who books will be available as on-line books. I know the neuro book has been out of print and can be found on aution site for $300+

They (IARC) are working on institutional rates for the on-line subscriptions, or at least that is what they told me a few months ago.

I know an attending who is writing a chapter in the upcoming WHO Neuropathology book - not sure when it is due to come out.

this might be a stupid question, but then again there are no stupid questions in path, are they gonna still make some attempt to publish some kind of fasicles like the AFIP used to? or did that die with the AFIP?

The fate of the AFIP is still evolving. As for their fascicles, series IV is being churned out as we speak:

Its a pretty good deal as a resident. If you join you get around 30% off these books as they are published. When you own them you also get online virtual library access.

Folks what Im saying is the IARC isnt going to publish anymore WHO books, the Dermpath one was already written, it now has no publisher.

The rest of the amazon email says the book is essentially not available from anyone.

Now I could be totally confused, but this is what some path faculty recently told me...

They are still publishing the AFIP books currently. Us military cats get them all for free (sweet deal ). As far as I know, they will continue publishing them. The AFIP situation is far from settled, and most of us believe that the AFIP will continue in some form. Hopefully it will get taken from under the DoD and be placed under the NIH.

The books are published as a collaborative effort between the AFIP and the American Registry of Pathology. The ARP is a sideline AFIP operation and AFAIK is not subject to the BRAC closings.

Series IV of the fasicles is producing some absolutely beautiful books. The are publishing tumor (red) and non-neoplastic (blue) editions.
