good content - bad book by T. OKelly (WI)

This book has great content and was used in my fourth year of medical technology studies. However, it gets a two star rating because after about two weeks of solid use the binding falls apart and pages come unglued from the seam and fall out.

Great resource! by C. Sanders (Atlanta, GA USA)

This text book has a little of everything. A great book to keep on your desk when you need a brief overview of something in the lab. It's sort of like all of your college sophmore math/chem/biology texts condensed into one book.

A really great companion. by Sergio A. Salazar Lozano (Tampico, Tamaulipas Mexico)

It would had been great to have this textbook with me while in my school years. It is always a delight to consult Kaplan's text, since it covers most of the lab issues with enough depth. The illustrations are not colored, but they are still pedagogic. Also, the text is enriched with lots of tables that I have found really useful. Besides this new edition is accompanied with a CD (which to be honest I haven't explore deeply). My opinion is that of a professional which has had to reference by work demands, I'm no student, but as I said before this would have made a great companion.
