This book is my bible of assessment procedure.
Assessment is hugely important to me. When I first meet a patient, I immediately observe how they get out of the chair in the waiting room, how they walk when we're heading to the treatment room, and how they sit when I'm doing my initial interview. Everything I do more or less follows a HOPMNRS formula: History, observation, palpation, movement, neurological s&s, referred pain, special tests.
I can confidently say that I know about 85-90% of the special tests in that McGee textbook, because I absolutely have to use them all the time. If you don't do a proper, thorough assessment, you're not going to be able to treat effectively.
I like some of the books you have, but I'm kinda surprised at some of the ones that you're missing. Maybe this is a smaller distributor? If you're looking to carry more books, I have some suggestions.

If I could have no other books in the world, I would have these. The Travell trigger point manuals that you carry are awesome though, I really enjoy those.
