Are there any student reviews of Lippincott's Illustrated Q&A Review of Microbiology and Immunology?

I've looked everywhere and can't find anything.

One of the features listed under this book on the Lww website states that "--Authors have years of experience teaching and question writing for national board exams." Can you confirm if this includes USMLE step 1?


I would be interested in purchasing this but i can't justify spending that much money for a book with no direct reviews or a preview of the content.


I do have the Anatomy & Embryo, Neuro, and Biochem in this series and can say they are very good.


I also have the Rubin's path Q book, but have not gone through it.
