Great book for every soon-to-be radiographer/radiologic technologist. You could say it's a bit dated since there are a lot of positions you more or less never do these days because of CT, but at the same time, one day you might stand there, having to take "that" picture you never bothered to learn, and that's when you bring out this book again. Great to have.

The Bontrager textbook is what I learned from in X-Ray school. At the time; I had a love/hate relationship with the textbook, now it is a valuable reference.
