Comments
I ordered this book of Netter’s for anatomy teaching to our surgical residents. It supposedly was sent on June 1, 2010. On the USPS website it states that it got as frar as Memphis, on June 5 and was never heard of again. Bad situation. See below.

This entire book consists of color illustrations of human anatomy. No explanation – just pictures. That was what I was looking for. I got this to study from to improve my drawing. I wouldn’t recommend it for that purpose. The quality of the illustrations is OK, but definitely not good. It is sad to see such high quality print job go to waste.
In terms of medical use: It is easy to locate structures, both using the index and when mentally separating the object of interest from background in pictures. (I was premed so I have used this for anatomy.) Probably Netter was drawing a diagrammatic ideal human. The vagueness in the illustrations is good or bad depending on your purpose.
This is a good book for anatomy and medical students to study from. It is extremely expensive, but so are all your books. If you are studying anatomy to improve your art then you are better off going with a photo based book or even a reprint of Vesalius. I don’t know what to recommend (still looking), but with this atlas you will likely be disappointed. Just look at the cover to see why. Netter’s illustrations leave much to be desired.

The book I ordered arrived in less than the time anticipated and I was impressed with the packaging….plastic-wrapped within a tight envelope. No way would there be shipping damage! It seemed respectful of my purchase. And the book was in excellent condition, too.
