Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 16th edition
12/5/2007
The seller should make obvious that this is only Vol 2 of the set of two. The total number of pages should be listed inside the book so people will know that "some pages are missing." This would help people undertand that there is another volume. A picture of the table of contents made visible with a thumbnail would help as well. People don't like feeling "used" like this, when they expect the entire book and receive only half of it.
Bible for medical students

No matter what your professors/classmates/nay-sayers say about how thick and heavy, convoluted or expensive this book is, it doesn't matter because YOU NEED THIS BOOK if you are a medical student, period. In fact, you'll save money in the long run b/c this book will pre-empt your need for many other books (not all, so be careful).
Warning! Not the full set!

The product shipped was Volume 2 ONLY! Don't make the mistake of ordering this when you really want the full set!
Simply the Best

Harrison's is a staple for most physicians, even for many med students. At over 2,600 pages, this monster of a book covers virtually every area of clinical medicine. This book is an ideal reference for students, physicians, and even non-scientists who desire a comprehensive medical library. It's history and reliability for many physicians isn't by accident.

Do NOT buy this book from Superbookdeals!
They misrepresented the product that they're selling-- I thought I was ording the ENTIRE Harrison's but only Volume II arrived.
After spending much time on the phone with their representative, they came to the conclusion that it was MY FAULT for not reading their disclaimer at the bottom of the page in small print stating that this is a two-book set. I still have yet to see this disclaimer.
Superbookdeals needs to re-list this book under a DIFFERENT image and a DIFFERENT title!
I will never buy from these folks again!
It would be best to purchase your Harrison's at a medical bookstore.
I'm a medical student and do not have a lot of time to go to the post office to return (what is know 2 copies of Volume II!). ARGH!!!!
