I bought this book as reference material for the Steampunk medical doctor persona I am creating. I am very pleased with this book, and the information and images (sketches) contained within it. It has proven very educational and helpful in my endeavors, and I highly recommend it to others who are interested in antique medical devices.
I received the book early and in perfect condition, however, I am very disappointed with the content. It is written in a kind of Comic San script which is difficult to read. Despite the lovely photo on the cover, there are NO pictures of these instruments. Just childish drawings.There was no "Look Inside The Book" feature. If there were, I would not have bought it. I got it as a gift for a friend who is a retired doctor. I hope he won't be as disappointed as I am.
Gives fantastic pictures and even more (unexpected) history of the instruments and designs. Very pleased with with book and highly recommend it.
Very good for the instruments reviewed. For a more complete compendium, a much larger book would be required.
