1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Quality, September 12, 2009

By 

DMS Student (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultrasound Scanning: Principles and Protocols, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)

There was much hype about the new edition. In fact, our class went weeks without a text book waiting for it to be released. As I read the book, I found many inconsistencies and I began writing them down for clarification from my instructor. These "inconsistencies" turned out to be errors...some publication and some writer error. By the time we were finished I had 7 type-written pages of mistakes (my instructor sent them to the editor). I was disappointed that as a first year student I was able to find critical errors that editors should have caught. And to add injury to insult, the quality of the book was so poor that the binding broke and I have pages falling out. The book is literally split in two. You may not have a choice when purchasing this book (if required), but don't be afraid to question what you read...you may be correct.
