Transcriber's handbook November 27, 2008
This is like a bible for the medical transcriber. When you do diversified work in the medical field sometimes you forget the format to use and this book gives that to you in easy reference form. There are so many other things this book offers in a concise way. It comes highly recommended.
 Medical transcriptionist MUST-HAVE! November 30, 2004

This book is awesome for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, it's very comprehensive--containing grammar, spelling, medical transcription-specific info, frequently misused words & sound-alikes, lab values, and much more. This is my bible, even though it hasn't been updated for a while and is definitely due. I can't wait for the new version to come out!
The spiral-bound version is a real bonus because it's so much easier to use and not lose your place.

A lower priced alternative to similar books. I am learning medical transcription with little financial support and find this book works for me.Judi Croft

I am a new MT and have found this book very helpful. The table of contents (listed alphabetically - nice) is on the back cover that folds over, which I have found easy to use. I LOVE that it is spiral bound, as it only takes up half as much space on my desk. It also includes appendices for items such as problem words, genus and species names, commonly used abbreviations, etc.
 Review of Medical Transcription Guide: Do's and Don'ts January 30, 2000

I made a$36.00 mistake. This book in no way compares to The AAMT Book of Style. Some of the advice is way off course (for those who want to be certified or who work for physicians who want us to use the AAMT style) and information is too hard to locate. I personally do not like the spiral binding. It is too ackward to handle.
