Haven't had a chance to go through it in proper detail yet but after a quick skim through side by side comparison with 2013 I can say it is better. The biggest difference this year seems to be the diagrams and pictures. There are more pictures , many of which are imaging which is much appreciated, and the diagrams seem more colorful and coherent. The pages have also been cleaned up and made more colorful so as to highlight important material. I definitely noticed a few things that were not mentioned in 2013 but as all yearly updates its probably 90% or more the same. In terms of material its about 50 pages larger which seems to be a combination of the new pictures, diagrams, material, and a slightly more spacious outline which I prefer. The quality of the printing appears better as well (or maybe I just got a bad copy of 2013). Should you buy it? I think yes even if just to make note of the new material (could be a Q or two on your test) and look at the plethora of new Pictures included.

I have a fully annotated FA 2013 and sitting for the exam in Feb. I have just brought the kindly edition and I must say that it has LOADS of new information. In Renal, detailed notes on Fanconi, Barrter, Gitelman and Liddle syndromes have been added. Stuff from Pathoma has been added e.g. Potter syndrome. Renal Tubular Acidosis 1, 2 and 4 have been explained way better. All the diagrams have been labelled extensively. I have just started immuno and the Lymph Drainage on the first page has been updated. Some details of firecracker have been added in the spleen introduction. All these changes and I have just been through hardly 20 pages! In short, even if you are taking the exam in a short period, this is a must have!
