 Canby, Craig. Problem-Based Anatomy. (2006, 1st ed) $20
o Condition: New
o Overall, a decent text but it leaves a lot to be desired. It doesnt cover nearly enough, but that which it does cover, it covers well. I like the organization of the textbook, with each clinical case detailing things like embryo, histo, physio, path, and of course associated anatomy.
 Katzung, Bertram. Basic & Clinical Pharmacology. (9th ed) $15
o Condition: Good. Some highlighting and writing, but very little overall. Name written across bottom.
o I like the book, but I like Goodman and Gillmans better, mainly b/c that text has more physiology and molecular bio incorporated into it. But this is the standard text at many schools and I have no issues with it. Note that there is a newer edition out.
 Rohen et al. Color Atlas of Anatomy. (6th ed) $45
o Condition: Like New. One or two pages have sparse writing/underlining in them, and that is all. Name written across bottom.
o Should be a required text, in my opinion.
 Murray et al. Medical Microbiology. (5th ed) $25
o Condition: Used/Good. The early chapters (1-6) have quite a bit of writing/highlighting. After that, there is sparse highlighting/writing/underlining. Name across bottom.
o This book is the standard microbio text in most med schools. I just dont like the organization and find the writing a bit dry.
 Tank, P. Grants Dissector (clean copy) (13th ed) $3
o Condition: Good. Might have some writing somewhere in it. No cadaver juice on it.
 Kierszenbaum, A. Histology and Cell Biology. (2nd ed) $60
o Condition: Like New. Might have 1 or two pages with underlining.
o As Im writing this Im considering keeping this book if I dont get a good offer. The diagrams in this text are phenomenal. If you are a visual learner, this is the histology and cell bio text for you. The cell bio part is introduced at the beginning and is surprisingly comprehensive. Someone told me that this is the histo book that Dr. Elkowitz recommends, but I dont know if thats true or not.
 Netters Flashcards. $20
o Condition: Better than new. I say this b/c most, if not all, of them have been already hole-punched so you can just put one of those binder rings through the cards. Organized and all there.
o I loved these. Used them at the gym frequently.
 Moore & Dalley. Clinically Oriented Anatomy. (5th ed.) $35
o Condition: Good. Some of the chapters have some highlighting/underlines but its really not much overall. Name across bottom. I might be able to dig up the CDs that came with the book.
o Tough call to sell this book. But I like Grays better in terms of writing. However, this is definitely the standard text at NYCOM and most other med schools in the country.
 Felten, & Jozefowicz. Netters Atlas of Human Neuroscience. (2003, 1st ed) $17
o Condition: Used. Highlighting, underlining, writing. No tears/folds. Name across bottom.
o Although this book is well used, its probably a good buy from me b/c in some areas (for instance, respiratory tracts) Ive integrated the physiology into the illustration. Regardless of whether youll get it from me or not, I think you should buy it for Neuro.
 Doyon et al. The Cranial Nerves. (2004, 1st ed. in English). $25
o Condition: Like New. Name across bottom. No highlighting, no writing.
o Good book. Incorporates Netter images and neurophysiology. I bought this text b/c the cranial nerves kept coming up over and over again and for whatever reason, I never got it completely straight.
 Harvey & Champe. Lippincotts Pharmacology. (3rd ed). $30
o Condition: Good. Some highlighting/writing (mainly early chapters). Name across bottom.
o This review books best merits are its illustrations. Worth buying if you have trouble with Pharm. I think some people use it as their primary text in conjunction with lecture notes.
 BRS Biochemistry, 3rd ed. $3
o Condition: Good. Some highlighting, mainly limited to 1 chapter. Name across bottom.
o Eh. Its okay. Lippincotts is better in my opinion. The schematics in here are worth $3 though (isnt that a Starbucks drink these days?!).
 BRS Physiology, 3rd ed. $17
o Condition: Like New. Name across bottom. No writing/highlighting/marks.
o I use this womans textbook as a review book I dont know how she could have made a review book thats any less comprehensive than her own text. Dont get me started. Theres a video on YouTube somewhere of Boron and Boulepep (physio profs at Yale) destroying a bunch of Costanzo texts in some sort of Borat parody. Anyway, that being said, tons of people use this review book every year for boards.
 BRS Pharmacology, 4th ed. $20
o Condition: Like New. Name across bottom.
o Surprisingly solid. A lot of pharmacology is memorization so this little text is right on.
 BRS Microbiology and Immunology, 4th ed. $12
o Condition: Like New. Name across bottom.
o I dont know why I bought this, but Im sure its great! It comes pretty widely recommended for the boards.
 BRS Cell Biology and Histology, 4th ed. $12
o Condition: Like New. Name across bottom.
o Supposedly the most difficult questions on the boards are cell biology questions. But overall, I think that for a review book this has too much info. However, the histology section is pretty good.
