2.0 out of 5 stars POOR QUALITY, January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Surgical Instruments: A Pocket Guide (Spiral-bound)

This is a very valuable book, only to see that all pages are tissue paper thin. There are also no dividers to separate the sections and the pages are too thin to put tabs on. This is a POCKET GUIDE that will fall apart fast when used as such.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Photo Manual Out There!!!, June 26, 2006

Christine Sammi Thomas "CST" (NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Surgical Instruments: A Pocket Guide, 3e (Spiral-bound)

This is the best photo manual I ever purchased! This book got me through school with ease. I was the first one in my class to buy the book. When I showed it to my classmates, they loved it and EVERY SINGLE ONE of my classmates bought it. I especially like that the picture is on one page and the name and description of the instrument on another. This layout makes it very handy for quizzing yourself or quizzing each other. I have other photo manuals that are no where near as helpful as this one! Purchase this book. You will not be disapointed!
