I remembered that when we did dissections in the anatomy class throughout the anatomy classes of the 1st 2 years, one student per table (who do not want to touch the corpse) would be responsible to bring and hold the Netter for the entire lesson. Netter really helped us a lot! I have browsed many other anatomy atlas and have not yet found one that is better than Netter. Although some atlases contain real pictures, they are not as clear as that in Netter! I can say, "Netter + Moore" is the golden combination for anatomy!
When I studied neuroanatomy after finishing the anatomy, Netter still helped me a lot!
Netter rocks!

If "a picture could say a thousand words", this book is it. I am an LPN turned Medical Coder. The book has made Anatomy `come alive'. I struggled through 2 anatomy/physiology classes in the above 2 programs & still did not feel like I understood. If you are a visual learner, this book is a must. It does have to be supplemented with written text as others have said, I use a google search when my textbooks are not enough. To determine if this book would be helpful, think of it like this, if you put together a big entertainment center, which would you find more helpful: diagrams of where each screw, nut & bolt gets attached to what piece, OR by reading a description of each piece & the description of the piece it gets attached to. For me its diagrams, so the book for me was well worth the cost ($69 + tax at Barnes & Noble, 3rd edition, soft cover).

Rather than writing a repeat of all the reasons you should buy this text, which you can read from MANY other reviewers, I'd like to leave a comment or two of what you miss in Netter's and why you cannot use Netter's as a single-source reference.
First, I'm a 20-yr vet of semiconductor manufacturing engineering (MS Chem Eng), so I wasn't as mentally prepared for med school as much younger students seem to have been. But having said that, I needed and expected a lot detail, and I mean a lot of detail. Netter's, while providing a ton of detail in a magnificent artistic format, cannot provide every angle necessary to avoid confusion. This bit is easily solved using highly detailed photographs. For this reason alone, Netter's (or any other single text) should never be considered as a single-source reference. As an example of this problem, what may be interpreted as a small fossa, may not be as apparent to the student. This is a big deal. Second, muscle orgins and insertions, at least from my personal experience (and I know everyone is different), seems to be difficult to learn from Netter's. The same goes for nerve innervations and blood flow. I have found the detailed photographic texts to be far more useful to learn innervations over Netter's art work though nothing compares to actually being in the lab.
Conclusion: If you're having to learn Anatomy, then Netter's is a necessary tool. The interactive CD is a nice feature but not completely necessary though the $30 extra is probably worth the money. But realize that you must not use Netter's as a single-source reference. A careful review of the photographic anatomy texts (my personal favorite being McMinn's Color Atlas of Human Anatomy) WILL be of great use - these two different styles of text greatly complement one another, and hence your understanding of the subject. Skip the coloring books.

This book is a must for a medical student! The illustrations are clear and are drawn in a way that is very easy to understand. The pictures are not always "real", they reflect what you should look for in a particular area of the body,a fact that helped me a lot. Comparing to Sobbota, this book contains more information in every aspect, although Sobbota may be found more usefull for dentistry students. The book is reliable (unlike Sobotta which contains mistakes), clear and understandable. It is simply the best atlas there is.
I am a general Med. student, but for a dentistry student I would recommend Sobbota because it contains a more detailed skull region.
