This book as a great resource to quickly look up gross MSK anatomy.
If you want more detailed information, such as bony landmarks etc, you may want to look at a larger textbook, however for quick reference its great.
The book is mainly labelled images of the MSK system, and it contains some good information in the form of tables relating to joint types, innervating and assisting muscles to movements etc.
A handy little guide to have, especially if you already have a good base knowledge of the topic
