    Was searching high and low on a textbook on Microscopic Anatomy. All have been a disappointment, but this one.
    It has colored pictures, that are clearly labeled, and a breakdown on the different tissues of the body in an organized and easy to read manner.
    The only thing lacking is that it is weak with mentioning the epithelium in the different types of tissues. But overall it is a perfect companion to my lecture.
    Be warned it is not an Histology atlas, is more of a read with some pictures, a textbook.
    Very pleased with purchase.

    This textbook has a variety of excellent images, including photomicrographs, diagrams, and electron micrographs. Clinical correlations are included in boxes that stand out from the text. Key words are highlighted. Tables are well done and the text is very easy to read. Powerpoint presentations for the chapters can be found on-line for users of the text.

    I liked the paperback binding and the quality of the paper.

    The only disappointment I had was in trying to confirm a statement and I found no reference citations. Unless the authors did the research themselves, the statement should have been referenced.
