I found the book to be wonderful in helping me with my biology class. It was in perfect condition and I love it. I will definitely order more books from Amazon.
"Great reference, Additional way to learn."
Written By: David Goldovt-Ryzhenkov
Anatomy coloring book is an excellent addition to a textbook to study anatomy and physiology.
Besides the coloring drawings it is known for, this book offers great descriptions confined to just a couple of paragraphs. This allows for an overview, and better compartmentalization as you receive more information from 1000+ page textbook.
I found reading the overview, then using the coloring and quizzing yourself on the overall structure, the best approach. Afterward, as you go into a textbook, you will better organize information in your mind.
There is a variety of coloring books available. They overlap somewhat but have their own areas of expertise. This particular one was my favorite for A&P.
"Anatomy Coloring Book"
Written By: Jack C. Watson
The Anatomy Coloring Book I bought for my wife studying to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. I didn't immediately see the value of it until I started going through the book with her. It is a way of learning bone and muscle structure and how they fit together. The coloring is really what put it together for her and my interest to a certain extent. Again,another tool and will become a part of her working library. Jack C Watson
"A very useful classic"
Written By: AvidAcrossThePond
I used this book when I was a pre-med student and I recently purchased a copy for my son to help him learn the bones in the human body for a junior high anatomy exam.
The Anatomy Coloring Book is an outstanding instructional tool because it combines two types of learning. Students read about the function of the parts of the body while also learning the names of that part and everything around it. The act of coloring the items reinforces the learning.
This book is as much an instructional resource as it is art, and it makes learning anatomy much, much easier for people who learn best by studying things visually.
"A good guide"

This book was great for understanding and makes it more comprehensive to palpate the muscles when you give a massage. With so many layers of muscle, it is easy to distinguish each one. A very good guide.
