5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although this book was originally required for a college course, I would have purchased it on my own had I known the content. This book is wonderfully written, and guides the technician very logically through procedures. The reason 4, and not 5 stars? I would have liked more slide photos; however, the ones provided were excellent.
Very Useful for intermediate and more experienced Techs. July 22, 2005

It's not really a book for new techs unless they have someone on hand to explain the smaller details. Very informative for all kinds of clinical lab testing, sample selecting and preparing. Starts with hematology and goes on through urinalysis, oncology, and more. My DVM is very pleased with our lab personel's newfound knowledge since we purchased this book.
Good reference April 8, 2004
