Customer Reviews

Excellent

I purchased this book purely based on assisting me through my Nursing and I must say that I have no regrets with this book. I actually prefer it over my Anatomy & Physiology book as it is straight to the point and gives the essential information needed as well. The book also played a strong role in my medical terminology. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Exactly what I wanted

I am very happy with this book. I have the audio notes to go with it. It's a perfect system.

Fantastic Book!

Medical & Veterinary Textbooks

This books was absolutely phenomenal! The book was very detailed and was in great condition when I received it. In fact when I received the book, I thought I bought a new book, rather than a used book.
