I placed my order right before Thanksgiving and have already received my book. When I purchased I understood that it was used and was supposed to be in good condition but when I received it, I was very happy and surprised that the book seems brand new. There are practice tests in the book which have not been filled out with answers and I’m very happy with my purchase. Thank you for quick shipping and the excellent condition the book itself, I would feel very comfortable with future purchases.

A quick study in basic terminology

We use Ms Christianson's book in our Applications in animal health technology. It is a good beggining Vet Tech book. It is well illustrated and easy to understand. It is a bit basic for more advanced studies, but for a first year pre-vet med class it does the job well..
