USER REVIEWS
"We have been trying to use this edition in class for the past few weeks. There are some terrible typographical errors. And then there are multiple sections where they will give two different definitions for the same term on the same page. Too many of the facts listed in the A&P sections have been checked against other books only to find the Milady's is incorrect.
Not to mention that the workbook and the text book, supposedly by the same author, will have mis-matched information in different chapters. If I was able to get a refund, I would definitely be sending both of these back to Amazon. (So would my instructor and several classmates)"

"One thing my entire class has noticed is that there are several typographical errors in this book (and in the workbook). It provides good information, but sometimes it doesn't make sense, causing my teacher have to look it up elsewhere. Otherwise, it's a great book, very informative."

"I don't think I'd want to pay $80 for this book, but getting it used in paperback was well worth the investment! I'll have it as a guide for years to come. The end of chapter quizzes were very useful in test preparation, and I found the massage routines useful since I didn't learn their style in my massage schools. Could use more in terms of Ayruvedic medicine, though, since that's part of the National Exam now."

"I am a massage student, finishing up a 510 hour, year long course, and I LOVE this book. I do agree with the other reviewers in that it is general with respect to some of the anatomy and physiology. However, I used it this way: First I read an A&P chapter (for example, on the Digestive System) in Milady's as a sort of introduction, then I read the corresponding chapter in my anatomy book. this sort of "tiered studying" helped me to understand the more verbose, difficult A&P info. I hope that helps someone out there.... bottom line, this book was the cornerstone of my studies!"
