Customer Reviews

great

Book was sent quickly and was in great condition. Would do bussiness with this business/person again.

Great overall

My book came in perfectly new condition. I was a little frustrated that it didn't get here as quickly as the other books I ordered, but it still came in an appropriate amount of time. Overall it was great, no problems.

Nice illustrations

This is by no means a in-depth discussion of anatomy. However, it's a great book for matching the surface with underlying organs. Simple and clear illustrations to show to patients, if you are working in a clinic setting.

The Best Anatomy and Physiology Book I've seen

This book was recommended by a college of mine, a retired Anatomy and Physiology Professor, when I started into my EMT-P class. I have referred to it several times. The photos are excellent and the line drawings over them are extremely helpful to me for locating structures under the surface of the skin. This is the best Anatomy and Physiology Book I've seen. I highly recommend it for any student as an extra helping hand for their classes!
