best one yet September 13, 2009

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had the 3rd edition in college in 98...this one is about five times better and encompasses things the others did not. Impressive to say the least. Should be very helpful. Loved the fact that this book comes with MANY links to many organizations and such. There is much to love about this book. I also like the fact that this book is helping to bridge the gap between lab animal people associated with AALAS with the small animal technician communities.
