“The CRC handbook was extremely comprehensive and very well written. All the information a CRC would be looking for could be found in this book. I found the examples of specific documents were very helpful, especially to a coordinator who was fairly new in the field. I would give this to every coordinator to read from the start!” Lucia Raffa, CCRC
