It's much easier to say what you shouldn't read - 'Blueprints Surgery'.

try 'NMS Surgery', by Jarrell, 2000, 700p. if it's not too much for you - trauma and orthopedics, which are the most heavily tested step 2 CK surgery topics, are emphasised in it; by the way, 'Blueprints Surgery' doesn't have even a word about orthopedics.

'surgical recall' is a question and answer book for ward pimping preparation - questions are simple and not case-based USMLE-style MCQs. material is insufficient for step 2 CK. mont reid surgical handbook - OK, it's the best pocket handbook for surgery clerkship, but it's 920 pages long (even though in 'pocket' format) text without MCQs. both these books were created for surgical clerkship, not for USMLE step 2 CK. if you like to study by doing case-based MCQs, you can find them in 'NMS Surgery', 'BRS Surgery' (excellent MCQs - text is poor though) and 'PreTest Surgery' (new 2006 edition is 100% case-based).

CHURCHILS HANDBOOK OF SURGERY OR OXFORD HANDBOOK OF SURGERY are for UK, not for US clinical practice - the best US handbook of surgery is 'mont reid surgical handbook'.
