Here is a small selection. All are excellent, including the first
two, which are probably now out of print. There are also several
good books that are aimed primarily at pathology labs. Older
books (meaning pre-1960) are valuable when an obscure technique 
is needed. They don't often show up in 2nd-hand bookshops, so
if you see one, get it!
