5.0 out of 5 stars ICD-9-CM 2009, March 16, 2009

This review is from: AMA Physician ICD-9-CM 2009, Volumes 1 & 2 - Compact Edition (Paperback)

I just received my compact verion of ICD-9-CM and I love it! This is my first time using the Compact version over the standard size (spiral bound)version.
The Tabular section is color coded. The Neoplasm table is in the same format as you would find in the regular sized edition. I really like this little compact book!!!
