Rating: - Family Medical Guide
This was a great value. I was going to purchase this at a well-known book store for $29.99, however decided to hold off and check on-line. I was extremely surprised at the price I was able to purchase it for. Excellent Value.

This gives the precise information we were looking forward to having at our finger tips. Good to have this type of informational book!
Rating: - Great Resource Book
My daughter pointed out that the previous edition of this book we were using was from 1994, so I agreed an upgrade was called for. I was thrilled to find it was still in print and in a much newer version, while still retaining features I liked-such as the diagnosis guide and the chapters focusing on various body systems. This book is a great family resource, and easier to cull for information than the internet.
Rating: - Comprehensive Book
This book is the exact kind of medical guide which I like to refer too. It is user friendly. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants quick facts about illnesses'.
