Re: FW: [Histonet] studying for ASCP certification exam
I definetly agree with the previous suggestions. Those 3 books are in the top 5 of my collections. Another book that might help you because of the illustrations (special stain color pictures on the test!) is: Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques 5th edition edited by Bancroft and Gamble Unfortunately it is rather pricey. Another good standby because so many books seem to cite it (classic): AFIP Laboratory Methods in Histotechnology latest edition is Prophet et.al. ISBN: 1-881041-00-X Good luck with your test!

Re: FW: [Histonet] studying for ASCP certification exam
The NSH sells a set of study guides on histology (maybe 10 of them, on fixation, various special stain categories and the like), I think you will find them quite helpful to see how much you actually remember after reading the textbooks.

Re: FW: [Histonet] studying for ASCP certification exam
Theory and Practice of Histological Techniques by John D. Bancroft and Marilyn Gamble Dr. you can probably get hold of a copy on Amazon for 1/2 price, even at full price it definitely worth every cents.
