5.0 out of 5 stars Not For the Layperson, April 17 2004
By Joe Cool "thedancingcrab" (Bronx, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine Textbook & CD-ROM (Hardcover)
Is nothing sacred? There are people who are actually rating Harrison's. Those people in medicine (regardless of specialty) will already know that Harrison's is considered the Bible. The layman may be better served with the Merck Manual ( which is less expensive and easier to read than Harrison's). Medical students would probably find Cecil's an easier read also.A layperson reading Harrison's would understand Hippocrates' Aphorisms in the original Greek better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful home reference!, Feb 8 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine (Hardcover)
Great reference, even for non-MD's. The book's chapters are a great read for anyone interested in health matters, and also for those who desire a really comprehensive medical tome.

The thing is pricey, but well-worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very complete source of information, Jan 25 2004
By Leccardi Stefano (Boves, CN Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine (Hardcover)
I recently bought the 15th edition of Harrison's, and very often I use it for research (I work in a general medicine ward) and studying. Very complete in all aspects, and quite easy to read, though it provides much information. I prefer it to Cecil's.
