Hi, I work at a small hospital with a small radiology department that just added CT. So these reference books are great to have on hand

Great Book/Horrible Seller by Patricia A. Glasco (Poteau, OK USA)

Once I finally received the book,(it took almost a month) it's great. I was apprehensive about the copyright of 1994, but it provides all the fundemental information needed to study and learn for the registry exam. I would stay away from this seller. It took almost a month and several e-mails and additional money out of pocket to receive the purchase. Amazon was good and made it right with a refund of the additional out of pocket expense as soon as they found out about it. Bad xperience with this seller but impressive custommer service and response from Amazon!

Need for Class by C. Hamm (USA)

I am using this book for a class. It arrived promptly and safely. Book seems to be a little repetitious, but maybe I need that to help in studding the subject.

AMAZON RATING by James P. McDowall (Scottsdale, AZ United States)

1 Stars
June 26, 2009
This is a rating for Amazon who I purchased the book through. I payed extra shipping charges to get 2 day delivery on this item which I needed before my class began. My order was placed on 6/21 and when I view the tracking it is saying it will not arrive until 6/26 hardly second day delivery even if we don't count the 21st (it was a Sunday). Expedited shipping from here seems to be a sham.

This book is terrible! by Justin Oberman (Iowa City, IA USA)

1 Stars

This book is terrible. It rambles on about topics and then says we don't even use them in CT. So why did I just read all that? The parts that I feel could use more discussion are barely touched. I do not recommend this book.
