Customer Reviews

Excellent conditions!!

I ordered three copies of this book and was so delighted to see that they were in the condition which the seller said they would be. There were no surprises or delays with my order. Thanks for a deal well done!

A medical student's salvation

When I had medicine and surgery to study for my boards, this turned out to be a quick, thorough summary of psychiatry that got me through my boards in that subject I kept neglecting as I fought my way through medical school. Can you believe psychiatry was my highest score on my boards? Thank you Dr. Tomb.
