This was the exact book! It met the guidelines and arrived in time. I was very happy. Complete version with index cards

Book was here on time. However, the description said there was light markings. This was not the case. Their are heavy markings throughout the entire book. Also there is a page missing. Very unimpressed.

This book was in great condition for its price. It came with everything I needed. The shipment speed was right on when I needed it. Thanks A Lot!

The book is ok quality wise. There is some writing in it but not too much. I was surprised I got that flash cards, so that was nice.

Answers are to the side, so no need for flipping to the back of the book. A great book for class or your own study.

Thanks so much for having the book(s) I needed so I can start a new chapter in life. I will buy from you again :)

Excellent for learning medical terminology. Words are broken down into parts so that the terms make more sense.

Good price with Excellent New Condition . I also got Flashcard too . Thank u.
