5.0 out of 5 stars Best anatomy book that I have used!, March 25, 2008

This review is from: Netter's Clinical Anatomy, 1e (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

I am a medical student, and found this anatomy book the perfect thing for reference on my clinical rotations. The pictures are wonderful, and it includes "clinical correlations" pages in each section, with pictures specific to certain diseases and explanations of the disease processes/physiology. Honestly, it's much better than any anatomy book I used in undergrad or med school. A must for the med student who needs some brushing up as well as good illustrations!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but EGREGIOUS formatting problems on some pages!, June 7, 2007

When do I get to be a doctor? (Stanford, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Netter's Clinical Anatomy, 1e (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

A lot of people in my class liked having this book b/c it was like having a portable, pocket-sized Netter's atlas with clinical correlations (seems like a good idea right?)

BUT be warned, there are some CRAZY formatting problems on some of the pages. I've never seen anything like it in a book before. Something weird must have happened to their computer during the editing process, b/c certain words will be cut-off or some pages will be close to gibberish.

If you don't believe me, check out page 85. "nur to disc initiates inflaator process" or "iscoenicpain" are two examples of sentences on this one page.

Thankfully, this doesn't effect the entire book. It's only a few pages out of the ~650 total pages. I think the book is still an excellent resource to have, but I like to know the flaws of things I buy before I buy them. Hopefully the publishers will see this and fix the next edition!

This review is from: Netter's Clinical Anatomy, 1e (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

Well worth the money and inexpensive compared to other reference books. It's small and easy to carry but packed full or relevant clinical info and it's anatomical relationship.
