Worst book, Worst professor, April cannot let go of his prideSeptember 26, 2008 omfssdd For those columbia students who are buying this for their anatomy course, a warning. This book is outdated. the pictures are in black and white, and there are only a handful of them. you must study with a netters. Ernest April is a penny pinching egomaniac who won't let go of the fact that he published a book...really more of an outline, about 40 years ago. This book is out of print. for a reason. There are innumerous errors throughout the book. MAJOR ERRORS. he calls them "errata". He sells his CD -which is this book in a hard to use CD format, where you can only see one section at a time, for 20$. If you have an older version of the CD -also littered w/ errata, he will sell you a new CD for 10$. He is THE worst lecturer, and this is THE worst way to learn anatomy if you have had no prior experience (which most students have not had). I can only hope that he will no longer be teaching next year.
Good Overall but contains many errorsDecember 22, 1998 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is book is fair overall but contains multiple errors. It is good as a supplementary text but I would not base my studying for the USMLE boards on it.
This well-organized book is excellent for learning or reviewDecember 8, 1998 bsknipp@students.wisc.edu(Madison, Wisconsin) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am a medical physics graduate student starting medical school in 8 months. I find this book excellent for reviewing what anatomy I have had, filling in holes in my knowledge, and preparing for my upcoming classes. This entire series, presented in a uniform manner, is easy to read, comprehensive, and well done.
