		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).
