[Histonet] Ann Preece (was "decal [sic] question")

[O'Donnell, Bill]

Ah, yes. That edition featured "105 illustrations, including 2
four-color plates" (back in the day when that kind of stuff was worth
mentioning on the title page) 

Have a great day - Bill

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
