I have two good books to recommend, which would make an interesting addition
to your collection and probably are out of print, but are worth searching
for with a used or out of print book search:

Wallington, E.A., Histological Methods for Bone.

Eriksen, E., Bone Histomorphometry.

ones". (Joseph Joubert: Pensees)

Hi Jennifer et al,

I would love to have that information too.  I am working with both
undecal
and decaled bone.  There just is not much out there in the way of bone
books.  I have a very old book and clearly the science is beyond it now.
The Preparation of Decalcified Sections.  1966 Charles C. Thomas Pub.

I hope to hear from anyone with references on bone work.  Thanks
