Editorial Reviews
Review
Few illustrated medical dictionaries achieve the stature of this book. It is not simply a medical dictionary but a trove of more than 3,000 remarkable illustrations. Nearly all are the extraordinary line drawings that have become the hallmark of the Melloni dictionaries…This book will be a valuable resource for students in the health sciences, and for undergraduates, readers in public libraries, and high school students.

This is a one-of-a-kind dictionary. …The unique quality of the dictionary is the inclusion of nice illustrations. …I love this dictionary!

IF a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...
then this medical dictionary is worth MUCH more than it's suggested retail price! Having used Dorland's for the bulk of my studies (for over 1 year now) I can only say that I wish I had THIS dictionary when I started. Certainly, there are other med dictionaries out there, but if you have a strong visual bent about your learning style (or are trying to develop your visual learning faculties to increase your learning speed) then I STRONGLY recommend this book. Wish someone had shown it to ME when I first started my studies!
... Success to ya'!
