Peds textbook of your dreams...

I just found out I was given the Peds Dept award at my school. And with this award comes the free text book of my dreams (I'm guessing it should probably be a Peds book). So I was wondering if any of you had any ideas about what textbook you would want if cost didn't matter at all.
Thanks for your input!

I'd give Zitelli my bid -- its great. I assume you're going into peds. Also, If you are goind into peds you might want to find the most expensive major text book.

My vote is for Blueprints Pediatrics.

I'd take the Peds ID text by Cherry, 2 volume set

I second the notion of buying the most expensive, biggest pediatric textbook available to all of mankind.

Nelson's is pretty huge- and probably expensive...

Congrats on your award!

You mean "Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases (Two Vol. Set)"
by Ralph D. Feigin, James Cherry, Gail Demmler, Sheldon Kaplan

and I strongly second that vote. You'll have plenty of access, on-line and elsewhere to many general pedi texts (Rudolph's is my favorite), but almost anything you do in pedi will need some ID knowledge and this has everything imaginable and, on the cost front, at $349, will ensure that whoever gave you the award knows you like to shop well

Nelson and Zitelli's are great choices, but if I had extra $ for a book I'd have to vote for Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation-it's fascinating and helpful on those long nights when you have time to ponder which syndromes your patients (and your colleagues) might have!

And..congrats!

And Smith's doubles as an excellent coffee table book. Think about getting a peds derm book also, those always come in handy at some point.

Oski's is the pediatric bible...Nelson's is better known for internal medicine.

However, I'd probably go with Feigin and Cherry's ID set. It's way more expensive...so you can foot the bill for Zitelli's or Oski's at your leisure, plus it's very practical and won't be outdated anytime soon.

Congrats to you for winning!
