What should potential readers of the atlas know about your associate editors, David Blomberg, MD, and Katherine Galagan, MD, and many contributors and the role of the CAP Hematology/Clinical Microscopy Committee over years?
My two fellow editors once again need special recognition—Drs. Katherine Galagan and David Blomberg. Each brings unique skills to this publishing endeavor. They share senior editorship with me and were always available for inspiration. This book would never have been published without their unflagging assistance. I am proud of our contributions to pathology literature—now having collaborated on four CAP color atlases. We make a good team.

The 18 contributing authors are members or were members of the Hematology/Clinical Microscopy Committee—all experts in their field. I also want to single out Patrick Ward, MB, BCh, who is one of the world’s best morphologists. He has an amazing collection of hematology images, perhaps the largest in the world, and they are all pristinely photographed. He generously shared his photomicrographs with us.

You’ve worked on six atlases for the CAP so far. Will there be a seventh?
Dr. Galagan, Dr. Blomberg, and I just received the green light from the CAP Publications Committee to begin work on the second edition of the body fluids atlas. The CAP now has virtual body fluid proficiency testing, and those whole slide scans will be the centerpiece of this new and expanded atlas. I hope we can visit again when that book is published.
