Gray's Anatomy: Classic Illustrated Edition

I'm disappointed and will likely be returning this edition of the classic and groundbreaking Gray's Anatomy.

Quite simply, the book is too small and the typeface is approaching microfilm size font.

I hate to complain but this is not the first time I have had this type of disappointment with a book from the store. It's like the books are printed to order on a poor quality printer. Gone are the days when a book could be a sensual experience with that new pages smell, the thick paper, the excitement of a new book to read.

I looked in the book but I couldn't find a "bummer" ;-)

book contains excellent information however the print is very small and at times it is difficult to read. the book being very thick makes it hard to open wide enough to comfortably read which you want with such a subject matter. i'd go next time with a larger size book.

Great book. Marvelously written, with a very detailed text and nice explanations. Wonderful drawings. Nice printing quality. You don't even need an anatomy atlas when you've got this book in hands. A must have for medical students.

Very comprehesive( course in medical school every course is!).........but, I chose to use another atlas during Gross Anstomy in my first year of Med School.....only bought this one for a friend.......I simply don't like the Gray's selection.

This is a landmark volume in the history of medicine. That said, this printing does not do justice to the famous plates, which were anatomical jewels. The images are dusky, lacking in detail, and don't serve the purpose I purchased the volumes for, which was to educate patients about their conditions.
There are better, yet inexpensive versions out there, and I would recommend one of those.

Book looks great, other than the boogers on front and the front flap ripped away from the body. I am find of used products, but this is not what I expected. Hope my daughter doesn't mind a ripped book for Christmas.
