Description
Written in the 1850s when its author was a young doctor, Gray's Anatomy was the most comprehensive and accessible medical textbook of its time. This compact volume comprises an abridged version of the classic 1860 edition - the last to be published during Gray's lifetime - and the masterly wood-block illustrations that ensured the runaway success of the original book. A national and international treasure, Gray's Anatomy is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of medicine or in the amazingly complex machine that is the human body.

This is a reprint of an earlier edition of Gray's Anatomy, a book which has since become the classic reference on human anatomy. Enormous detail throughout, illustrated with beautiful drawings.

When I started Medical School I didn't realise I would need a better anatomy textbook than this paper back version of a very early editon of Greys anatomy.
