This is my all-time favorite book.
My well-worn copy travels with me most of the time, it's a comfort.

Netter's is more of a portable reference than a substitute for a proper anatomy textbook. I bought this textbook on the recommendation of a friend. Unfortunately, I now regret this purchase as I find myself almost always turning to my fully fledged anatomy textbooks instead. This textbook simply lacks the level of detail I like to have.

Great reference for in the anatomy lab. I loved the tables with the muscles, innervations, and actions. The only thing is the pictures are a bit small so you might need the original Netter's for more detail.

I like that it's a specific resource for clinical reasons, and love Netter's arts :) May be 5-star, but I don't have other resources on the same subject, so can't really say.
