Gray's Anatomy (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classics) (Barnes & Noble Leatherbound Classic Collection)

I agree with one of the other reviewers in that the colourful and nicely embossed heart on the front cover looks a little out of place, but that aside, this makes a very fine addition to the personal library. Pictures and text are clear throughout (albeit a bit small, though no major problem). A very enjoyable piece of nostalgia, whether you're a quack or not. Saying that, as this was what Victorian med. students will have studied, get a modern one if you need it for serious study (though 99% is pretty much the same then, as it is now).

It's nothing short of middle range detail through human anatomy information but it does little and glosses over texture of internal and external anatomy which it should "not" those are prominent factors for surgical solutions and in my honest opinion every change in homo sapien sapien must be represented as naturally possible with very little missed out if any if possible in books of this context. So yea this is probably why it's only 18 pounds instead of 140+ pounds for the 40th edition of grays anatomy. I would say it's worth the 18 pounds if you just want a general overview with some medium level detail but anything more you gotta go do some crazy research using documentaries , videos of dissections or actually get permission to dissect a true homo sapien sapien male,female ,intersexed whatever. A bit annoyed to tell you the truth but I absolutely love researching homo sapien sapien anatomy from top to bottom.

Bought as a present for a friend who's a medicine student. He already owns a Grey's for Students, but he loved this one. Looks very nice, though personally I think the silver detailing looks a little tacky. It contains the original illustrations, but I doubt he'll be using it as a revision resource.

A beautiful book, rich leather binding with embossing to give a lovely feel in the hand as well. The pages are that classic thin, almost bible, paper and are silver edged which gives it a lovely shimmer as well. Very pleased with the quality and a very reasonable price given that quality! It was a gift and the recipient was very, very happy with it!

I bought this book as a present. I was a little worried that it would look too much like a text book but it is far from that. Other than being leather bound, the pages are edged with a silver colouring and there is a ribbon attached to the spin to mark the page. The over all appearance of the book is amazing and looks great on the shelf, and I have been told the contents is very interesting too :)

The edition of this Gray’s Anatomy is the 10th (the newest is the 41st), meaning it’s an antique version in black and white only. I’m pointing that out since it wasn’t mentioned anywhere on this page from what I could tell. Other than that, it’s a beautiful edition of the classic, with a hardcover embroidered with sophisticated details.

Really beautiful book, this is the edition that has all the descriptions and text not just the illustrations. I bought this for my boyfriend who loves anatomy books and the cover really made this a beautiful present

This leather-bound book is beautiful and just have a very nice feeling to it. has some very nice pictures inside too. the only negative for me was that some of the pages stuck together first time I opened the book, but over time it was possible to separate them gently. All in all a very unique book worth the money.

Purchased to aid in my study! Original print in leather is a great addition to the office or as a study tool! Beautiful cover, solid book and valuable information perfectly laid out!

Fantastico! Quello che mancava nella mia libreria ad un prezzo super conveniente. Sono molto contenta!

I received the book rather quickly. Upon opening the box, I was immediately struck by how beautiful the cover of the book was. The leatherbound edition is pretty awesome and the raised cover illustration was very cool. I bought the book as a gift for my girlfriend, an R.N., and when I gave it to her, she was very impressed with the condition of the book (I purchased a used copy from a non-chain bookstore). It looked brand new. As a matter of fact, if I didn't know the book was used, I never would have guessed that it was, in fact, a used copy. As for the book itself, this collectible edition was incredibly beautiful and very impressive. The illustrations throughout the book are quite magnificent. So, ultimately, I was very happy with my purchase and my girlfriend was very excited to finally have this book in her collection (She has wanted to add this book to her personal collection for quite some time). The price was quite inexpensive (just a little over $40 altogether) and the book was in fantastic condition. So, suffice it to say I was very, very satisfied and very impressed. Thank's Amazon!
