Book Reviews of Our Bodies, Ourselves: Updated and Expanded for the 90's

Book Review: not as extensive as the origional
Summary: 2 Stars

I have the original Our Bodies Ourselves from the 80's and it is much more extensive than this version. So I was a little disappointed, and i gave it to the library. The original was a great reference, this was missing a lot of subject material and in depth explanations that the first one had. So if you are looking for a replacement for the old one, save your money. If you don't care and just want a basic reference, go for it.
