Any suggestion for mass spectrometry books that are easy to read and follow?

Are you looking for help with data interpretation or are you learning the theory behind the different techniques etc?

The best book I have read is this one

http://www.amazon.com/J%C3%BCrgen-H.-Gross/e/B001K6J4VE

This covers instrumentation and theory but the chapter on EI-MS fragmentation of organic molecules is about 100 pages long with references so it's a lot of money if this is all you are interested in.

Another suggestion is "Interpretation of Mass Spectra" by Fred W. McLafferty/ Frantisek Turecek.

See if you like it.

Good luck.

I would suggest a couple, but I am unsure of your budget so I'll throw one of my personal favorites out there.
