2.		Basic Arrhythmias (6th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $75.60 Customer Review: Easy to read and understand. Didn't like the CD that came with it, found it difficult to use the calipers, but the book definately helped me ace my test!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Cook and Hussey's Assistive Technologies: Principles and Practice from Mosby Price: $56.79 Customer Review: A good book for rehabilitation practitioneers, although it can get a little too much over the place. Cook likes to explain things with tons of detail which may be good if you need a quick handbook, or bad if you need a course reader	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Bailey & Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology (Diagnostic Microbiology (Bailey & Scott's)) from Mosby Price: $69.26 Customer Review: This book holds a lot of useful information from safety to bacteria. Some of the parasitology was lacking and all of the tables can be useful or a menace depending on how well you can learn from them. The pictures were very useful and everything is easy to understand.

5.		A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Customer Review: Great addition to my office. Explains some tests we use infrequently-good to explain to patients.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Clinical Laboratory Hematology from Prentice Hall Price: $81.60 Customer Review: So far I have only used it for hemostasis, but it offers great supplemental material to the lectures. However, I must say some of the diagrams get a little crazy when it comes to the factors, inhibitors, etc. and they could be cleaned up and made much much simpler! Overall a must for all MT, CLS,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Understanding Anesthesia Equipment from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $110.18 Customer Review: An inevitable must for all new residents coming into the world of anaesthesia and medical technology. Each new edition of the book gets more and more modern equipment oriented - losing out on the simplistic educational value of the older equipment. The gradual loss of the Non-rebreathing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.		Dental Instruments: A Pocket Guide (Dental Instruments) from Saunders Price: $33.25 Customer Review: This spiral-bound text contains some of the most often-used dental instruments, brilliantly illustrated and explained clearly.

12.		Phlebotomy Essentials from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Customer Review: This book seemed as though it would have been very helpful in preparing for a career in phlebotomy. Unfortunately, I decided not to take that career path. The good news, though, is that today, April 10, I sold it on Amazon to another customer. Also, I was able to sell it for right around the same... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

13.		Medical Instrumentation: Application and Design from Wiley Price: $116.95 Customer Review: The book scans through many topics related to Bomedical Instrumentation. It gives you just a general idea of what this is about, but if you want to get serious details about anything mentioned, you will need a second source for everything, as nothing is explained or treated in enough detail.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Introduction to 12-Lead Ecg: The Art of Interpretation (Garcia, Introduction to 12-Lead ECG) from Jones & Bartlett Publishers Price: $42.25 Customer Review: This book is great for the beginner or someone who wants to review 12 lead interpretation.

18.		12-Lead Ecg: The Art of Interpretation from Jones & Bartlett Publishers Price: $51.25 Customer Review: This is a great book for learning 12 leads, although I think it is necessary to have some previous experience with EKGs.

It has some great tips on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials: Theory, Practice, and Cases (Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials) from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $58.45 Customer Review: This book is written for dental hygiene students, but it would also make an excellent undergraduate dental text.
