Good Residency (Match) Book

I know what you'll think "he hasn't even started med school and he is already thinking about residency? What a tool..." but when I decided to go to med school Junior year and read up about it, I figured out that I would have been much better off if I had started preparing during freshman year or even high school...

anyhoos...to get to the point. Do you guys know of any good residency/matching books that talk about how to choose a specialty and maybe what things I should be looking out for/keeping in mind during my 4 years in med school?

I found a couple current books at the local library that seem good, but just wanted to see if anyone has a hot tip or if there is an "industry standard" or something that comes highly recommended.

Thanks for any advice and for keeping the snide remarks about me asking this question before I am a med student to a minimum 😀

Cheers!

Haven't read either of these, but have heard from others that they are good.

The best I have seen is Iserson's Getting Into A Residency

The only place I was able to find it was at my medical school's bookstore.
