Harrisons Manual of Medicine, 20th Edition

Quick credible reference goes in more detail than some of the great medical pocket books such as Pocket Medicine. I was looking for a book like this. Goes into essential detail one must know. Provides great organized tables, which helps me because I am a visual person. I love it so far!

Everything you need to know in the palm of your hand. Great reference for students :)

thank you

Perfect like the description of the product

Awesome adjunct to required reading

Printing is awful. Mess with the chapters and pages, missed parts. I see in the reviews bellow that it is a common problem. I find it disrespectful and unprofessional, especially, knowing the price. But I do not live in US and I have a problem with solving this publisher's mistake. I have no time to deal with it while working. Disappointed.23.01 Update. Amazon did a great job and delivered quickly new book without missing parts. Thanks to the customers service. So now I can say that the book worth it, I am happy. Once again, the publisher should check the product before releasing to the market.

Ordered this three times with same result each time.The good: exactly what I needed for clinical work. Organized in clinically useful manner. Detailed about pathology but at the same time the information on each topic is easy to navigate by use of text and tables. Give specifics.The bad: The printing and assembly made the book a jumbled mess. The first book I received was missing around 60 pages and had an index half-way thru the book duplicating the one at the back. I returned it and ordered another. The second had an index with many of the pages cut-off half-way, making it unusable. I returned that one also and ordered another just because it would be great if it was usable...but the third was also a jumbled mess.Giving up and trying a different text all together.

After page 1102 it goes directly to 1135 and then when it gets to page 1166 it goes straight to 1135 again.So everything from page 1135 to 1166 is in the book twice and it is completely missing 33 pages from 1102 to 1135.Is everyones book this way or did I just get extremely unlucky?
