This is the worst print job ever. Its as if someone xeroxed the entire book and tried to print the scans of the pages, bound them together and sold it as an original print. The person who scanned it obviously didn't align the pages so they're printed all lopsided and of course no one could bother to change the contrast of the images so they would at least come out half decent. I attached some images for everyone's enjoyment.Aside from the horrible print job, the book is very disorganized in how it presents the material. If blood banking is a new subject for you, you will find yourself flip-flopping throughout the book to get information in order to understand a full picture of what you are reading. You have better luck starting out with bbguy.com.
I didn't like this book that much, it was not helpful for my immunohematology class. The most disappointing thing is a lot of topics I tried to look up were not even found in the book, but were found on the internet and in my class notes so I know they exist. Kind of annoying when it has so many other topics in great detail.
As a licensed and board certified clinical laboratory scientist, I have referred to this textbook many times. I read it from cover to cover, which if you are working in blood bank, you had better read this first so you know exactly how to proceed and think it through. This book is not for non-CLSs, as it's technical information on immunohematology. Barry Ogston - ABC Water and the Number Crunch Diet
Great resource for my Immunohematology I and II courses. Has some useful diagrams and charts I frequently referred to while studying. Only downside was I found several spelling mistakes and other errors, something that drives me insane! All in all, decent textbook...it'll get the job done!
I cannot offer a review for this book as it was ordered for a grandchild who needed it for a college class. I will say however, that the transaction with the seller was handled quickly and smoothly, the book arrived very quickly and was in the same excellent condition as it was advertised.
As a required text for my online course I figured I could swing by on the lectures...uh, no. So I took our blood bank AABB book home for some supplementation (which was definitely amazing) but a bit much for my class expectations and too lengthy to easily pinpoint what I needed, so I rented Modern Blood Banking & Transfusion Practices. I work in the field so the technical aspect was, in my professional opinion, executed in an easily understandable fashion. I would recommend this book to any student it's required to, as it is easy to follow and relate concepts. If I was the type of person that appreciated a library's worth of knowledge on my clinical profession in my living room, this would be on my mantle. But I'm not, this girl returns them all because my mind's a racing entity that wouldn't find old textbooks anywhere close to being useful for studying for my MT. All in all, impressive read!
Most of all I needed the book because of the transfusion practices. This is a mandatory continue education in Puerto Rico, so I need the book for review and look out for the new practices in blood transfusion. The book has been useful in coferences preparation. I will recommend the book for the persons who are studing or working in laboratories (MT) and on investigation or research, or for nurses who offered conferences about blood transfusion.
I am not saying that the subject matter is easy to understand, however the "structure" of the book it's self leaves a bit to be desired.Some of the more complex issues this book deals with uses terms that are not covered until later in the book. Furthermore some of the more simple concepts are explained to death while the more complex ones are barely mentioned.If you already know blood banking then you will have no problems, if you are learning it for the first time...go somewhere else.
