3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best A&P book, July 30, 2004

This review is from: Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology with OLC Bind-In Card (Hardcover)

This book has a lot of vague points and skims over a lot of important facts and functions - the only reason my school switched to this book was because there was one tiny flaw in the nervous system chapter of the prior book.

But buy it on amazon because the bookstore will overprice it (they wanted $195 at my school for JUST the book and that was used - not including lab manual).

This review is from: Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology with OLC Bind-In Card (Hardcover)

I ordered this text book through Amazon because the school book store was out. In my past experiences with Amazon, I have been able to receive the same product, faster and sometimes cheaper. In this case, all was true except the book store book came with a very necessary CD, the book with Amazon did not.
