Я цілковита аматорка, тому те, що мені сподобалося, може нічого й не означати. Звісно, я не перемалювала поки що все-все звідти, буду ще не раз вертатися. Ілюстрації фотографіями й сучасними малюнками подобаються значно більше за старі книжки з теми, де були малюнки олівцем від руки, які часом були не дуже зрозумілі, бо якість зображення так собі.
З мінусиків: є пара сторінок, де переплутані підписи до зображення людини спереду й ззаду, тож сідниці названі лобком, а також зображення стегна з коліном підписане як гомілка і тут я не одразу зрозуміла, що написи переплутані, й певний час намагалася зрозуміти, що ж це за гомілка така зверху і нащо нам дали перевернуту ногу :D

Any anatomy book that lays out the muscles so clearly and from so many different angles and positions is always a good resource in my eyes.

[Badia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is certainly a good simplified anatomy book, very visual and well designed to help you understand where the muscles are located and how they are rendered in volume.
But there are a few errors in this book and one wonders whether it was proofread before printing.
For example: the colour code for a part of the knee has been reversed.
The spine of the scapula is referred to as the clavicle!
The errors are quite gross and it's a shame.

An absolutely fantastic reference resource!
