This handy reference has step-by-step instructions for handling such first-aid situations as sprains, cuts, CPR, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and shock. Sturdy, water-resistant construction--including a spiral binding and plastic pages--makes this an ideal guide for storing in a pocketbook or backpack. The diagrams are easy to follow, and tabbed pages allow for quick indexing. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

this little booklet is quite expensive for what you get. It is also REALLY out of date. It does not even recommend having someone chew an aspirin for suspected heart problems

Only worth about $2. You are better off buying a real first aid manual and photocopying a few of the most important pages from it to stick in your first aid kit. This is almost a waste of space. I'm only putting it in my kit since I already have it, and on the off chance that I'm unconscious and a total moron is my only help.
