Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Thumb Index)

Excellent, will use for a lifetime. Added benefit, that it is on my computer also.

I love this book compared to "stanton" at my school. I found that dictionary to be too big and wordy. This book was even approved by my professor, so any med student should seriously consider buying this nice reference book. There isn't much more I can say, enjoy!

I bought this for a Christmas present. She has checked around and said this is the best one. It was shipped in perfect condition and I can't wait to give it to her.

I could not believe the difference in the New tabers Dictionary, the last one I purchased was when I was in Nurses training. Iam very please with the product and am glad I went into Amazon.com looking for it. I didn't think there was a new edition. Thank You

So far my husband and I have found this book to be very helpful, we have only had it a month and are both taking medical terminology. He's taking the class for a biology degree, and I'm taking the class for massage therapy. Every time we have looked up a word, it has been there. If it needs a picture, there is one. It always gives you the root word with prefix and suffix separated and what language the word came from. The thumb index makes it much easier to find pages quickly than the books that don't have them. The definitions are easy to understand and are oftentimes more helpful than the definitions in either of our textbooks.
