Mosby [via Elsevier] publisher is really trying their best to squeeze $ from readers by downgrading books from hardcover edition to flimsy softcover such as this one and on top of that charging more money too. They have been doing this lately with many books. Horrible. Regarding info there is nothing much new in this edition as compared to the last one, therefore if you have the last edition you probably do not have to upgrade, and if you are a student look for the previous 2nd edition, which is hardcover and formated better...and will save you a few bucks.

too much work to get the answers for the review questions by MV (usa)

The book is fine.. The only thing that sucks is that at the end of each chapter there are review questions. The thing that sucks is that you have to go online and register and then get the answers. I think if you are paying so much money for a book then it should come with the answers. Students do not have the time to go online and register their book and then have to download each of the answers to the chapters.. I did it and saved it onto my computer but that means that I now have to go to my computer every time I want to check answers. There are over 40 chapters so 40 downloads..
