Can't improve a classic

Of the thousands of versions of this book (and the tens I’ve seen), this is by a long shot the best one. Here’s why:•Not heavy duty, but ultra duty— The book is VERY very durable, heavy, and will not fray or show signs of use over time.•Thick pages, like every page is laminated and smooth yet doesn’t glare.•No blurriness/pixelation— most other editions have crazy pixelation in the images. Not this one. The images are crisp and clear.•Some images are colorized but not to the point of obstructing the anatomy (a problem with the recent rainbow-like editions)I’m overjoyed I found this version, I can’t imagine a better one.

Classic medical text. Excellent physiological diagrams and an overall good investment for anyone considering the medical sciences. My boyfriend is an artist and uses it for form references when drawing the human physique.

The quintessential book for anyone studying anatomy. For me I I'm using it to understand anatomy for my artwork, it provides some great pictures to model after. It is invaluable as an artist to understand the body and how it moves, so I suggest this to any new artists. If you have a little more money maybe try a newer edition though.

I love having this old thing. It’s a nice historical piece. I’m the distribution supervisor for a VA hospital and this is useful for explaining to my crew how various products are used.My only concern is that the book arrived in a torn shipping bag. That isn’t good with the Coronavirus concerns these days but otherwise thank you very much. It’s in great condition.

Had the slip case edition, was looking for a more professional, sophisticated edition, read reviews and was lead to this 1973 edition. Was not disappointed! Beautiful binding, photos are extraordinary, even had an inscription on the front page that gave me some pride in knowing this book had history. "R.A. Morga, CRNA St Francis Hospital Marceline, Mo. 6465-8" I had purchased for reference to keep for a lifetime and maybe pass down to future generations, and this will certainly be a great piece to do just that.
