buying made easy

I am the Einstein of 'ejits' (idiots) when using a computer, I was told about this site by a colleague so I could get my books and save money! Sounded good to me. I accessed the site and found the books I needed and simply purchased the necessary books it saved me a great deal of hassle, I would recommend this site to anyone. The book took about 7-10 working days to get to Australia! amazing the Uni didn't get copies until the end of our 2nd week.

Mayes Midwifery

This is an excellent textbook for those studying to be midwives. It is well set out with easy to read information about all aspects of midwifery. Although written for English midwives the knowledge it shares is relevant to midwives from around the world (buyer studied midwifery in New Zealand). This is also much cheaper than buying from a university book store.

good basic reading

this is an excellent book for the basics involved in midwifery. it is relevant to midwives, nurses, all medical staff really and is set at an understandable level. i have used this book for alot of references to both patient questions and own personal interests. i would highly recommend it to any students as a long term textbook.
