5.0 out of 5 stars The classic anatomical authority, October 27, 2001

This is definitely not the book to buy if you are looking for an atlas or general anatomical text. It contains an enormous amount of detail that surpasses other medical texts. Buy it if you want to be able to reference every little fissure, vein, or nerve; if you want a systems based text; if you think it would look impressive on your desk; or if really want to impress your anatomy professor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better atlases are available, October 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body (30th Edition) (Hardcover)

Something of an outdated dinosaur. Pictures are consistently less clear than Netter's anatomy atlas. Look at it before you buy to make sure you find the pictures acceptable.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, But Not The Best., October 15, 2002

"Gray's Anatomy" is a classic in its field. Its descriptions are thorough and precise.

The illustrations are fairly small for my tastes. I keep another anatomy book in my law office for initial reference. I turn to "Gray's" when I need more detailed information.
