CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 4 reviews)
| average by Rebecca Jacobson (New Mexico) 3 Stars January 10, 2009 It wasn't in as good condition as advertised but it definately will do. I don't like how you dont know when your going to receive the book. I ordered two books at the same time. One for my friend and one for me. I had mine sent to my house and her's sent to her house. She got her's a week before me and mine was supposed to be in better condition then her's and it wasn't. Not the end of the world, but a little confusing.
| | Unexplained by Amy Clayton (Cordele, Ga) 1 Stars May 06, 2008 I never did receive by book nor an explanation of what happen to it. First time sellers I would not purchase from anymore.
| | book for school by Kelly R. Nazarenus (Duluth, MN USA) 4 Stars August 23, 2007 Considering this is a book for class, it is overall a pretty good text. Very well illustrated
| | Excellent book by Mulan (Fort Dodge, IA USA) 5 Stars April 10, 2007 As a nursing student myself, this is an excellent book for those who are going into OB. Easy reading, very informative for OB, but Peds not so much. Other than that, it's an excellent book.
