The Nicrotomist's Formulary and Guide. Peter Gray. 1954. New
York: Blakiston.
  Contains just about every method (fixation, embedding, sectioning,
  staining) published up to about 1952, all with references. There
  is a complicated system of numbers and abbreviations, and the book
  needs a little study to use it. Selected methods are described in
  great detail. The index is a masterpiece.

Histological Techniques. Manfred Gabe. 1976. Paris: Masson/New
York, Heidelberg & Berlin: Springer-Verlag. (There are 3 ISBNs.
The Springer-Verlag, New York one is 0-387-90162-0.)
  The magnum opus (1106 pages) of a French zoologist who did all his
  own technical work. The personal touch comes through even though
  the translation leaves a little to be desired. Includes enzyme
  histochemistry, but not immunohistochemistry. Full of good advice
  for classical methods. Bibliography and index are lousy. Gabe
  died in 1973, before the work was fully edited and translated.

Histochemistry. An Explanatory Outline of Histochemistry and Biophysical
Staining. Richard W. Horobin. 1982. Stuttgart: Gustav Fischer/London:
Butterworths. (There are 2 ISBNs: Fischer: 3-437-10700-3 and Butterworths:
0-407-00248-0.)
  Most of this book is about staining, especially with dyes but also
  by other methods, and fixation is discussed too. It does not give
  practical instructions, and is addressed to readers with some
  experience. Mechanisms are closely and critically analyzed, and it
  is rewarding to read parts of the book repeatedly. This is a worthy
  successor to J. R. Baker's "Principles of Biological Microtechnique"
  (1958). It is not as easy to read but is much more up to date,
  especially with respect to mechanisms of binding of dyes and
  histochemical end-products.

Understanding Histochemistry. Selection, Evaluation and Design of
Biological Stains. Richard W. Horobin. 1988. Chichester: Ellis Horwood.
  This is a shorter and somewhat simplified treatment of most of the
  material covered in the same author's "Histochemistry" (1982).

500,Gaithersburg,MD 20877-2417. ISBN 0-935584-51-X
I use this book nearly every day. I make my newbies Read chapter 1
"Calculating for Amount, Concentration, and Preparation of Reagents" and
work the problems before they can play in the lab. The appendices for buffer
preparation are copied and posted on the benches.

everything from antibody preparation to apoptosis to ISH. Overviews are very
readable and the protocols work.
