5th ed Tortora?

[Muffin2]

i got the full version of grays in the student union book shop for £30, couldn't believe it. my friend bought one as well, they must have really ballsed up the pricing.
it said £60 half price, and they must have though it meant half of £60.
anywho its ace

and i also recommend moore

It is likely they were trying to get rid of an old edition of Grays. They had one in Blackwel's for about £40 a few years back. The latest edition costs around £150 - not that it makes much difference. Bartelby put an early edition on the internet for free which is just as good.

Either way, proper Grays is far far too detailed for any contemporary medical degree. You will get bogged down in what is simply irrelevant detail. It is occasionally of use as a reference, but really should be left to adorn the shelves of surgical registrars.

its the 39th edtion. the most recent. i just use the pictures mainly, i find them very useful.

Amazon.co.uk: Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice (Gray's Anatomy): Susan Standring,Jerry Healy,David Johnson,Andrew Williams,Harold Ellis: Books

that one there

so for £30, i'd have been daft to leave it

[yeliab_cram]

now i see what you mean. someone in the union really did balls up the price didn't they. Well, 30 quid for gray's is clearly a bargain.

I agree, the pictures are excellent, but they are exceptionally detailed. The diagrams in Moore's Essential Clinical Anatomy are all you need for the spot tests. I only required Gray's when thinking about variable anatomy during my BSc.

For anyone who is feeling left out, most of the pictures used in the latest edition are the same as they have been using for decades and are freely available online for all:

Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body

cheers Crammy.
i'd def recommend not being dumb enuff to spend £30 or £60 on it.

[Muffin2]

i object to being called dumb gizmo, especially by someone who doesn't even type in english.
£30 is nothing for a medical text book. many are considerably more, especially since the RRP of grays is about £120

sorri, you were right all along. spending £30 on something free on the internet is defntely the smart fing to do, not dumb at all no.
