Here's what's inside (8 sections, sourced directly from Junqueira's Basic Histology 17e and Ross & Pawlina's Histology: A Text and Atlas):

Section	Contents
1. Overview	Definition, defining characteristics, principal functions, embryonic origins by germ layer
2. Classification	Full master table of all epithelial types - layers, locations, functions; cell shape terminology; pseudostratified and urothelium detail
3. Surface Specializations	Microvilli (brush border), stereocilia, motile cilia (9+2), primary cilia (9+0) - structure, molecular components, functions
4. Cell Junctions	Tight, adherens, desmosome, gap junction, hemidesmosome - proteins, anchoring filaments, functions
5. Basement Membrane	Three-layer structure (lamina lucida, densa, reticularis), molecular components, functions
6. Glands	Exocrine vs. endocrine; merocrine/apocrine/holocrine; simple vs. compound; serous vs. mucous
7. Cell Renewal & Metaplasia	Renewal rates by tissue, stem cell locations, metaplasia table with cancer risks
8. Quick Reference	Mnemonics, 17 high-yield exam facts, 8 clinical vignette-style review questions with answers

Clinical correlations throughout include: Kartagener syndrome, ADPKD, Barrett's esophagus, Pemphigus vulgaris, Goodpasture syndrome, Alport syndrome, chronic bronchitis, and vitamin A deficiency.
