3.0 out of 5 stars reasonable, July 3, 2010

This review is from: Schwartz's Manual of Surgery (Paperback)

This is the 'pocket' version of the Schwartz textbook of surgery. I think this is a reasonable manual that is certainly much easier to transport than the actual textbook. However, it really doesn't fit easily into normal pockets. These days most textbooks offer on-line versions when you buy the actual textbook that can be accessed anywhere, which is probably a better option (I am not sure if Schwartz offers this with the main text, but they probably do).
