Looking for a guide to lab values

I would really like a guide to lab values. I used to have one (don't remember the title) but it was stolen from work. Do you have one? Do you have any recommendations?

I use the little 'Diagnostic Test Facts made Incredibly Quick'. It is small enough to put in your pocket and includes patient prep for tests as well as critical values and purpose of the tests - it is published by Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.

I use Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (by Pagana & Pagana). A decent book, pretty easy to look up reference values.
