This review is from: Color Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy: The Horse (Vol 2) (Repr of 1987 ed) (Hardcover)

When I first sat down with this book, I could not stop looking at the incredible detail of the photos. I am a farrier and needed detailed images of the workings of the legs. This is way more than I could have hoped for. Layer by layer the horse is dissected with each vein, tendon, ligament and muscle painstakingly pointed out, the photographs are perfect with excellent color, and hand drawn diagrams accompany each image with each item labeled in latin. This book is absolutely invaluable.
