Customer Reviews

The book overall is in good shape, but it absolutely reeks of cigarettes.

Great for Vet Med students and Veterinary Technicians. It has practice tests inside that you can fill out, pictures of the skeletal system and anatomy, and it’s overall a good book for the basics of Veterinary Medical Terminology.

Very satisfied

I placed my order right before Thanksgiving and have already received my book. When I purchased I understood that it was used and was supposed to be in good condition but when I received it, I was very happy and surprised that the book seems brand new. There are practice tests in the book which have not been filled out with answers and I’m very happy with my purchase. Thank you for quick shipping and the excellent condition the book itself, I would feel very comfortable with future purchases.

Very good condition! Fast shipping and got here on schedule

Very informative book, recommend it to vet students starting out!

Terminology Review

Well written. It was in depth while being concise in many ways. Great reference tool.

Great Service

I was very happy with my service. The book was delivered in a very short amount of time in perfect condition.

A must!

This book is very easy reading and the crossword puzzles at the end of every chapter only enforces what you learned within that chapter. Its just a book one needs when starting out.

Perfect for My Niece

My niece is 17 and wants to go to vet school. This book is a perfect start for her.

A quick study in basic terminology

We use Ms Christianson's book in our Applications in animal health technology. It is a good beggining Vet Tech book. It is well illustrated and easy to understand. It is a bit basic for more advanced studies, but for a first year pre-vet med class it does the job well..
