3.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors, August 1, 2010

This review is from: Clinical Chemistry: Techniques, Principles, Correlations (Bishop, Clinical Chemistry) (Hardcover)

While this book is fairly easy to read, I stopped reading it about halfway through my class because of the constant errors and typos. It is also inconsistent, which I think is mostly due to the fact that each chapter is written by a different person or group of people. Where one chapter says vasopressin, the next says ADH, and the next AVP. After coming across so many errors I stopped trusting the book. I wouldn't recommend it unless you know enough to spot the errors in the first place, and that kind of defeats the purpose.

Used this book to study for Chemistry ASCP exam. It was a great resource to review. Still use it for reference working in the lab. Also has on-line version that comes with the new edition, so it can be accessed at home and in lab.

Fantastic clinical chemistry book, written primarily for MT/MLT students, but also a good source for more senior techs and pathologists. Clear, well written text, excellent illustrations. Highly recommended.
