3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not the best, July 28, 2008

This review is from: Hand Secrets (Paperback)

Good but not the best. Does have a lot of info, though some of it is wrong and/or incomplete. If you're only going to get one, get "The Purple Book." The format of this book is pretty dense, more like the way MD's present info. The Purple Book is set up in a question/answer format and is more user friendly. I did use Hand Secrets when studying to pass the CHT exam in 2006, and occasionally reference it still. Good x-ray pics.

This is an excellent resource. It makes a good resource to see how far off from all you should know you are. Great review for those getting ready to take the boards. Very recommended.
