grays anatomy - collectors edition - why no color illustrations?

The wording of the book is very descriptive and written in plain english for most of us to understand. unfortunately the labelling on the black and white illustrations is often difficult to read. None of the illustrations are in color except the front cover.

Not current, and neither are some of the reviews

The current edition (8/08) is the 39th published in 2004, there are British and American versions which differ slightly in terminology.

The 40th edition will be published at the end of September 2008. So if you are looking for the current text book then order either the 39th or 40th.

Needs more illustrations

This is, of course, the classic Gray's Anatomy, but I was slightly let down when I attempted to look up some anatomical structures, and there was no illustrations provided. I thought EVERYTHING was illustrated and explained. Fortunately, most is both, but some structures just get a brief explanation, but no illustration.

Great book!

Have wanted to purchase this book for years, now it is available and affordable.
Such a great educational tool for anyone interested in medicine and the human body.
Thank you Amazon for making this possible.

This is a landmark edition of one of the greatest texts of our time. Gray's Anatomy has been an international bestseller for 100 years; its appeal is not only to physicians and students, but to artists and the medically curious. As the new Introduction by Dr. Crocco states: "Every living physician today has been exposed to Gray's Anatomy and nearly everyone has used it. It was Gray's Anatomy that occupied most of the embryonic physician's waking hours, whether at home or at the side of his cadaver.
"There have been many imitations, but few real competitors. There have been dissection manuals and pictorial atlases brilliantly illustrated with exquisite photographs. There have been synopses of anatomy and there have been monographs on various regions of the body. However, there is only one Gray's Anatomy.
"This stellar book represents the acme of anatomical description over the last century and will probably still be the premier text in anatomy over the next one hundred years. This commemorative edition is a very fitting tribute to Dr. Henry Gray, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, whose colossal work will be remembered by medical historians past and future and by twentieth-century physicians and surgeons as the anatomy text of our age."
