I liked it. Lots of great pictures, plus a website. Scroll down to see the illustrations that are in the actual book.

It's an exellent book. It's how I learned. He makes good analogies with great illustrations, and a bit of humor thrown in to keep it from being dry. It takes you through starting with the very basics.

We used the EKG Workout book by Duff. It's very good and has lots of practice strips.

I saw that book after the fact, and I can agree that it is a great one. It still exists, at least I saw it in Barnes and Noble last year.

Another excellent title is "EKG Plain and Simple" by Karen Ellis. I love EKGs and hope to get a chance to use the skill eventually. Good luck!
