BB Textbooks

It depends what you want.

Many of the textbooks that I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing are 1) easier to purchase on "this side of the pond" and 2) many are directed towards either Reference Laboratories or physicians/pathologists, but, if you feel that any of these may be of use, I will list them.

Denise Harmening's book has been a good, basic reference since its first release.  I think it is called Blood Bank and Transfusion Medicine, but would not swear to it.  Many students use it.

It's Modern Blood Banking and Transfusion Practices.  It is what I used as a student, so it MUST be good :)

I have the AABB 17th edition. What's the latest edition?

Just need something in general for Blood bank testing. Maybe similar to a student textbook.??

The latest is the 18th edition.  I've got it on a thumb drive.  BEST. THING. EVER. :):)

The first edition was one of the books I used to study for the SBB exam - mid-80s. 

I used Harmening for my SBB studies as well, though with my experience with students I find that it is also very approachable for the beginning blood banker. I have to confess (embarrassment) that I didn't really 'get' the Lewis system :confuse: until I read that section in Harmening with its nice charts and tables :wow:.

All excellent books, but I have to say that Mollison's Blood Transfusion in Clinical Medicine is a real textbook, rather than a book to read from cover to cover (and I can say that with all honesty, having read it from cover to cover for a book review - and I know Dave Anstee wouldn't argue with me saying that)!

Ann I don't think I ever really understood the Lewis system but don't tell Malcolm, he'll try to educate me and it's way to late for that.  :crazy:
