Used Book in Good Condition
i really, really recommend reading this book - it is practical, clear, even amusing in parts (the author doesn't flinch from telling you when you are fucked). it explains first aid in a way that (1) makes one hell of a lot of sense and (2) is easy to remember (because it all fits together). it's also aimed at practical use in the outdoors.
and, as everyone else is saying, you should be using pressure, not a torniquet, unless that really doesn't work.
Sounds like a good plan. In the meantime, pick up a copy of the Outward Bound WFA Handbook. It's a great resource. Sadly I lent my copy to someone years ago and never got it back. Also, as cheesy as it sounds, pick up a copy of the Boy Scout First Aid Merit Badge Book. I usually keep a copy inside my first-aid kits since it's a small, lightweight, easy to read book. Although the last thing you want is someone treating you looking up "how to bandage a wound" while you're sitting there unable to help yourself... but it's better than nothing.
