Format:Hardcover
The Merck manual is a bookshelf must for all medical or biomedical science students, and for all members of the healthcare team.
A text which at first glance appears limited purely by its lack of size, do not be fooled. The pages are extremely thin and there are nearly 3000 of them, packed with information in a well presented, accessible form.
Well worth its small cost, this world-famous text will act as a dictionary, textbook and study reference guide all in one, covering the simplest to the most uncommon of symptoms and illnesses.
An excellent investment which I have used in EVERY assignment including my dissertation so far in my Biomedical Science degree, of which I am in my final year. I can attribute a great number of my marks to this essential text.

I have purchased every edition of The Merck Manual starting with the 10th edition. They all have been the best medical information resource available at the time.
The new, 17th edition, has surpassed all past editions. The typeface has been improver (made larger), the layout of topics has been changed for the better and the writing style has been made more lay person reader friendly. In sum, the best has got even better.

Format:Hardcover
In my quality as layman I have been a faithful subscriber to the Merck Manual for the last twenty years . I find in it all the new discoveries in the field of medical science, thanks to which I often forgo to consult a medical practitioner. And I am still enjoying a pretty excellent health in my 79th year.
