Oh I had a 1965 edition, but someone "borrowed" it and never brought it back.  I have since acquired the 1972 edition in good shape, but there was a 1959 edition.  That would be a good one to have in the library.

I also have a copy of Preece's "bible" from 1972!  A couple of pages are loose and the spine is a bit frayed.  What a great book!!

You've got to be almost as geezer as me to remember when Ann Preece's "A Manual for Histologic Technicians" was the histo bible. I was fortunate to be able to purloin a pristine (no stain spills) copy of the third edition (1972) from the wreckage of an old histology lab about 20 years ago.

Indeed, Patsy Ruegg! "Decal" is a trademark of the Decal Chemical Corporation and should not be used generically for decalcifying solutions. See decal-bone.com
