read it?

Our head and neck class required us to get this book and we never even read it...I figure I will keep it for my own reference as anatomy is my favorite subject.

Wait for the next addition...

While this book is a great help to undergraduate dental students, it does fall short in the incredibly specific structural identifications dental gross anatomy classes call for. However, I have seen the next addition which should be coming out soon and it is greatly improved-especially when it comes to bones (and specific structures) of the head. So buy it now if you are taking a gross anatomy course....but if you can afford to wait, then buy it later when the next addition is available.
