Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary

This is the 23rd edition which is used and only cost me less than $2 with $4 shipping. It is great condition and looks almost new. The current 25th edition is $60 so I feel I got a great deal. I always buy used books from Amazon and so far have never been disappointed, my books all look like new and the prices were great. This is a great medical book with a lot of information for anyone to use. Always highly recommend the Tabers Medical Dictionary and it is full of useful info for home use and college/ school use as well. Don’t be afraid to buy used books. Just look carefully at the descriptions of the condition of the book you want to buy and the price they want and the shipping costs vs the price of a new book. Some times a new book is only a couple of dollars difference and sometimes a very good or looks new book is a great price. Watch the good category, sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s not.

Has EVERYTHING!!!!!

This book was extremely helpful for my medical classes. Not only did it include pronunciation (which is a medical necessity) and definitions, but it also included extra's (like pictures, other descriptions, and disclaimers). I would recommend this book to anyone in the medical field!!

I bought a copy of this medical dictionary for a medical terminology class and I found it quite useful. It contains a surprising amount of information for its size (thin paper and small print). That does make it a little delicate, however.

A good medical encyclopedia.

I have had various additions of this wonderful reference going back to 1992. It truly is invaluable with its thorough descriptions suitable for an encyclopedia and for simple dictionary type meanings of medical terminology. Well worth the cost, very highly recommended.

Excellent reference book for Pathology. If any one is in the medical field or has a need to look up any disease or medical term quickly this is a great tool to do that. I'm a student and have found this very helpful for a number of medical courses.

My book is literally untouched and access code included! I was very satisfied with this purchase saved me a lot of money! Thank you once again! I highly recommend them!

The order came the next day, and the condition of the book was superb!!! Totally satisfied w my purchase.

I ordered this medical dictionary on 18 March 2017 and it arrived at my door on 10 April 2017. The content inside this dictionary is simply awesome as well as extremely detailed and extensive. This med dictionary is a must_have for just about anybody who wishes to stay updated with medical terminologies. It was actually my 89 year old grandfather (paternal grandfather) for whom I purchased this book via Amazon India. He, an F∙R∙C∙P∙ from Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh [he (my grand-dad) was infact one of the brightest students of none other than Sir John Crofton when he (my grandpa) had been happening to getting his M∙R∙C∙P∙ degree from Royal College, Edinburgh], happens to be a retired former Professor of Medicine and (once) used to be the Head of Respiratory\Chest Diseases Department {during the 70s and 80s decade} at I∙P∙G∙M∙E∙R∙ cum S∙S∙K∙M∙ Hospital Kolkata {more popularly known as P∙G∙ Hospital} ————— well, he (my grandfather) also served as the H∙o∙D∙ of the Respiratory Medicine Department of Calcutta Medical College and Hospital (C∙M∙C∙H∙) too. Although he is from the Medical profession itself, however, I would still like to admit [having myself gone through this dictionary] that this medical dictionary is actually for all and sundry. He did however say that some of the things he was wishing for aren't contained \ covered in this book and which is why we (I and him) are planning to go for Dorland's Medical Dictionary {which is an even more detailed \ comprehensive dictionary than this Taber's Cyclopedic one} when its (Dorland waalaa's) newest edition will come out during mid 2018. Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, International Edition Now, as far as the physique of the book is concerned, it was much below the expectations. What we got \ received was neither a hardcover nor a paperback. Moreover, my grandpa was also miffed at the fact that this dictionary \ book has infact been printed in China. The page quality ain't any appreciable, either. To add to all such negative points, the price was too high ―――――― we had to pay Rupees 3485 as because we opted for the ‘Cash on Delivery’ mode of payment. Plus, as I have already clarified above, it took a frigging 23 days for this book / dictionary to arrive at our doorstep from the moment of placing the order for this product. Our deliverer [i mean, the seller in our case] was “Atlantic Publishers and Distributors”.

This is a medical dictionary. The cover is nice. Helpful for school. I cannot say much more. Book.

Ordered on Saturday and it arrived on Monday. I am quite happy with my order and the condition of it. No issues thus far.

Fantastic condition!
