Customer Reviews

Great book, mislabeled quality.

Good book for vet school. The one I bought said very good condition, but has lots of highlighting and very poorly drawn underlining

Fantastic Diagrams

The addition of colour to this edition makes a HUGE difference. Really clear easy to follow book.

Best book for rapid reference

Never seen such a nice illustrations with easy to understand text. This book not only helped me in surgery but i got lot of help to understand the ultrasonographic anatomy too. I will say this book is very helpfull not only to students but for practicing veterinarian as well.

I live with this book....

As a first year veterinary student, this book has become a lifeline at school. Whether it's looking up some unknown body part in Radiology lab, or needing a drawing to further comprehend the lecture, this book delivers. A great feature is it's small size - you can carry it in your bag. I keep a few larger anatomy books at home, but this is such a help. It doesn't have the depth and detail you'll need for everything, but gives a nice, quick summary.

Excellent for veterinary students.

I am a current veterinary student and this book is a necessary reference for small animal anatomy courses. It is very informative and covers all of the anatomy of the dog. Most diagrams are from the more expensive Millers Anatomy of the Dog.

Dissection is an art and anatomists can do it!

I know the authors and their work in the universit, They are the best in the world of anatomist. I thought this book was good, but now i know it's wonderful, the best! I hope this one help me in my classes!
