 Just what I want! September 8, 2009
Luis Fernando de Lucca Carbonesi
Hello, my name is Luís de Lucca and I'm from Brazil.
I bought this book to give as a gift to my girlfriend which is studing medicine. It arrived in perfect conditions and just in time as always! The book is colorful and well explained! I think it is too nice for those who want to learn something about human body.
I am very happy with amazon.com.
 The Gold Standard Atlas; Very Poor Binding August 16, 2009

If you have taken gross anatomy, you likely already know that Netter is the gold-standard atlas. I couldn't imagine studying without it. If you are considering purchasing Netter for a course where it is listed as a recommended text, just do it. Netter's ability to simply present complex relationships with the perfect balance of simplicity and realism is unmatched. I will simply refer you to other much more in depth reviews if you want to read ravings about Dr. Netter's genius and artistic skill.
What I feel I need to draw attention to is the extremely poor quality of the binding. This is a book that anatomy students will use daily, flipping from page to page. This is a book that will find its way into every anatomy lab in existence. And THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POORLY BOUND BOOKS I HAVE EVER OWNED. I am not exaggerating when I say that of the more than 100 people I know how own Netter's Atlas, I cannot think of a one who does not have pages falling out. I lost my first page within 2 weeks of using it. Sections fall off the spine with regularity. The editions used in my cadaver lab, after 2 months, were nothing more than a collection of individual pages. The standard practice at my school was to take the book to our campus print center and have them spiral bind it
Should this keep you from purchasing Netter's Atlas? No. The content is unmatched. Perhaps, you should consider purchasing the hardcover edition (I can't vouch for its quality, only for the poor quality of the softcover). Or just take your paperback version and immediately have it rebound. And, if you have had similar experiences, please mark this review as helpful and send the publisher an email so that future editions are higher quality.
Detailed Visual Anatomy Book August 16, 2009
James A. Randall (Florida, USA)
My wife is an RN and was looking for an anatomy book with easy to see illustrations. She had seen an earlier edition at her chiropractor's office. We ordered it and she has found it extremely useful. Before she purchased this one she usually referred to my college anatomy and physiology textbook when she had a question. Now she always goes to Netter with its marvelous illustrations.

Excellent atlas. Dr. Netter used his career in surgery to formulate the most realistic and lifelike representation of the human body imaginable. I am still amazed that he drew all of the pictures!
GREAT!! June 29, 2009
