I used the book to supplement a summer class. The review questions, case studies and appendices were great for understanding the information in each chapter.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Phlebotomy Essentials (Paperback)

Do not purchase anything from this seller. If I could give negative stars I would. They have not shipped out this book that I purchased on 6/1/2010 and thankfully Amazon is helpful and filed a claim and my credit card was never charged. I think Amazon needs to remove this person from their site as they are obviously not paying attention to the fact that people are purchasing items from them. I've tried contacting this seller twice with no response. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THEM!!!
