Great shape/shipped out quickly:
I needed this book for a class. It was shipped out in a timely fashion and the book was like new.
Fantabulous!:
Absolutely wonderful book for any bodywork/ or A/P student. Easy to understand, clearly pictured & grouped for quick reference. Have to agree w/other reviewers' that this is one of the best books for learning the human body. Sketches show instertions/origins and is written in an easy to understand format. Muscles/bones are "highlighted" w/in the body, making it easy to envision the location. Flash cards are very helpful too. Found it better than my $200 college text : )
Wonderfull!!:
Once again had no issues with delivery, was absolutely satisfied and hope you all have the same experience.
Trail Guide to the body:
