5.0 out of 5 stars must-have study material, January 16, 2001

By	Mackravel "a bibliophile" (Atlantis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Textbook for Veterinary Technicians (Hardcover)

I am an unlicensed tech and want to take The Test later this year to get certified. Everyone I have talked to swears by this book as the most comprehensive review for techs. It doesn't get too detailed in some areas....you'll still want specialized texts for subjects like pharmacology or anatomy. But this is the one book every tech and student should have. A note of warning....if you buy this book used, make sure you get a RED covered copy. Older editions have a green cover and may have out-of-date info.

4.0 out of 5 stars indispensable for any vet tech!, July 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Textbook for Veterinary Technicians (Hardcover)

Highly recommended. I am a vet tech and I am constantly looking in it, and referencing, researching, and rechecking. It's the most used book in the clinic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything in one book, July 6, 2003

By	"xmljedi" (Clifton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clinical Textbook for Veterinary Technicians (Hardcover)

If you are looking for a single book for Vet Techs then this is it. I have several of the "topic focused" books and find the same information here in this book at the level of detail that I need. I consider this the Vet Tech bible...
