Book Reviews of Trail Guide to the Body: How to Locate Muscles, Bones, and More (3rd Edition)

Book Review: A beautiful book with a big flaw
Summary: 3 Stars

(This review is for the book "Trail Guide to the Body" 3rd Edition by Andrew Biel.)

Since this book has only received 5-Star positive ratings to date (about 26 of them), there is no need for me to go into all the great features it contains.

However, this book has a big flaw. The text and captions to the drawings on every single page (and there are nearly 400 pages!) have a very light print, almost light gray. And the font is small and thin too. This makes this book quite hard to read for some people. In fact, it is so tiring to read that you will not be referring to it that much. What a disaster, ruining such a beautiful book! Shame on you editors/printers! What happened to quality control?

NEW Third Edition!
This acclaimed book teaches readers to palpate the body's structures with ease and precision. The beautifully illustrated, user-friendly guide to the muscular and skeletal systems makes learning the necessary bodywork skills interesting, memorable and easy. With 420 pages and 1,100 illustrations, this 3rd edition covers more than 125 muscles, 206 bones, 30 ligaments and 110 bony landmarks. It provides an invaluable map of the body.
New to this edition:
Synergists: Muscles Working Together - 75 new illustrations showing the muscles that perform a movement "in action".
40 new illustrations showing ligaments and deeper structures of the joints.
Palpation information for 10 muscles new to Trail Guide.
Basic information for 25 additional muscles, most of which are unpalpable but fill out a reader's knowledge and understanding.
