R. A. Willis wrote, “This book is the outcome of my special interest in tumours during 20 years as a hospital pathologist…. While aiming to give a useful general outline of each topic, I also wished the book to be a personal record of my own observations and conclusions.” Willis was Professor of Human and Comparative Pathology, at the Royal College of Surgeons, London. The book was bought for the NIH by Dr. Wilton Earle, who was responsible for the development of many tissue culture techniques. Potter may have used Willis’ book as inspiration for a manuscript that he was working on when he died about the history of plasma cell tumor research.

This book was edited by Michael Potter, Joseph H. Nadeau (Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Maine), and Michael P. Cancro (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Department of Pathology), from papers presented at a 1985 workshop in Bethesda on the use of wild mice in a wide variety of research. They wrote that the papers, “are relevant to the growing use of ‘wild mice’ in immunological, microbiological and genetical research. ‘Wild mice’ is a jargonistic term that is used chiefly in the laboratory to refer to the naturally living forms of house mice (mus musculus) and also other species closely related” to them. The book also listed available mice stocks and sources, amazing one reviewer that the editors got scientists to share their sources.
