This is a very valuable book, only to see that all pages are tissue paper thin. There are also no dividers to separate the sections and the pages are too thin to put tabs on. This is a POCKET GUIDE that will fall apart fast when used as such.
poor quality of pictures, although the pocket size is valuable, agree with previous review on thin pages...bought this book as a course requirement....hardly used book
This is the best photo manual I ever purchased! This book got me through school with ease. I was the first one in my class to buy the book. When I showed it to my classmates, they loved it and EVERY SINGLE ONE of my classmates bought it. I especially like that the picture is on one page and the name and description of the instrument on another. This layout makes it very handy for quizzing yourself or quizzing each other. I have other photo manuals that are no where near as helpful as this one! Purchase this book. You will not be disapointed!
This book doesn't contain all of the instruments that my instructor lectures over. I probably won't use it. Will just sit it aside and refer to it. Won't use it as my main means of study.
I found the book of only little help. Many instruments are not in the book.The pictures and descriptions need to be done over. The pictures do no show the instruments well, specially different angles and close up as really is necessary to know what you're looking at, because you need to memorize them by sight. Color pictures would also be much better for seeing the teeth and grouve, twist, and angles of hte instruments, etc. The discriptions are also lacking in that there are more common and multiple names for many of the instruments that are not listed. By far color pictures, from 3-4 differend angles and close shots would be highly beneficial. Had I seen an older copy of this book, I would not have purchased the copy, edition I did buy.
Was very useful when I was teaching. Most surgical instruments were pictured which sure beats trying to describe it. Big help.
Clear pictures and description of each instruments. Helpful in learning the use of each instrument. Use it daily in my new job.
Great Book! I bought an extra one for my friend that is also a surg tech student. Helps with learning the instruments!
