<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No, you don't have to order all the books. My own
personal minimum recommendation for HTL (for what it's worth: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- any good atlas for tissue I</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- start with the Carson books to get the
basics</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- then study the Bancroft/Gamble book for more
details and unusual stains</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- get as many NSH Self-Assessment booklets to
practice taking exams. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(Suggestion to supervisors - buy these booklets for
the lab. Use them to train new people, and use them to assess the cognitive
(knowledge) competency of your histotechs (a CAP and JCAHO
requirement).)</FONT></DIV>
