Good book for reference

This is not a textbook like Criminalistics but for quick reference and going through a few scenarios, it works for me.

Solid primer for the non-professional

The ulimate guide to forensic science is well written , easy to understand informative for both individuals with a general interest in the topic and also for young people wishing to understand a career in forensic science. It is strictly a primer, as are most books in the colorful DK line. As such, it is a book that anyone can pick up to learn a general outline on many topics without being weighed down with too much technical information. A good basic book for the non-professional.

Crime Scene

This was a fantastic book. It had lots of case studies and heaps of glossy, colour diagrams, which made the text very easy to understand. It was technical yet very easy to understand and it was very detailed. A must read for all those interested in forensi science.
