 Hard Work November 19, 2008
As this is a facsimile copy it's very difficult to read. I've looked at a few pages and that's as far as it goes. The bottom line is if you want a copy of Gray's Anatomy you need to invest in the original hardback edition. Approx A4 in size, and enough to cause significant spinal damage if carried regularly. But there is so much information and detail on each and every page that it just doesn't work in this scaled down version.
 Great for artists July 29, 2008
Grey's anatomy is great for artists wanting to learn more about the structure of the human body.
This book may be mostly scientific knowledge, but has fantastic illustrations throughout.
If you are interested in reading up about human anatomy whilst looking at illustrations, then this is the book for you.
If you are just interested in visual aids and anatomical drawings, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.

Gray's is an interesting historical text with nice diagrams and pictures. It is readable but I doubt that any "serious surgeon" actually uses it more than once in a blue moon. Last's is much better for surgeons.
(Speaking as a "serious surgeon" myself! :) )
It's also massively expensive when compared with Last's
 SUPERB facsimile of the 1858 edition September 3, 2004
26 out of 28 found this review helpful
The hardcover edition from Grange books is a superb digital facsimile of the original 1858 edition in a large format on very good quality paper.
Here is what the flap has to say about this edition - and it's all true:
"In some important ways, the various editions which have appeared since 1858 have never surpassed the original edition. Many experts take the view subsequent editions have failed to match Henry Gray in clarity of expression and that the illustrations in later editions lack the beauty and simplicity of those in the first edition, which were all the work of Henry Vandyke Carter, the most talented medical artist of his day.
Fantastic detail and breathtaking clarity of illustrations. December 12, 1999

Want to memorise all the muscles in the body, what they do, where they attach and how to build them?Then this book is a must for the serious surgeon, anatomist or dedicated bodybuilder for that matter! There really is NO anatomy book that surpasses Gray's. It is peerless.
