This is a great learning tool for the beginning transcriptionist. It is easy to read and flows well. I am very excited about the learning opportunity it provides. There is only one very large problem. You need the CD-ROM that should come with the book. This version does not include the CR-ROM. The ISBN # for the same book with the CD included is 0 13 018735 6 and you will have to special order it from Amazon. If you don't you will have to order the CD seperately. That is if you can find it (I tried with no luck) and it is not cheap. The book with the CD included is much more cost effective. I hope this information helps.

The previous review refers to the 2nd edition. I ordered and received the 3rd edition which DOES INCLUDE the CD ROM.

Excellent book! Excellent software!

The books has a lot of great information and it is helpful. However, the dictation on the cd is not really very useful if you don't know if your transcription is correct you will never know. You need a key to see if you transcribed the dictation correctly....key only available to instructors.

I gave it 3stars as it misses one very important feature for effective self-learning: answer key.
Aside from that it is a great book, exactly what I needed to become familiar with the most common medical terms and concepts

I gave this a five star even though there wasn't a CD included in the book. I received this pretty fast. Thanks for a great job!

This book is the exact book I needed to do a college class, and it was incredibly cheaper to buy it at Amazon.com than to buy it on campus. I had choices of buying used or new. There were even various degrees of used that were just great. I will continue to purchase items from Amazon.com. This was not my first purchace.

Overall in good shape. Corner pages were little messed up; not a big issue. Received before expected. Has loads of medical words I added to my computer's dictionary. I was expecting answers in the back of the book, but there were none. That did not help me.
