5 out of 5 stars Great Value and so easy to read   November 14, 2009

What a great value and so easy to read! I bought the mayo clinic guide and was disappointed with how obtuse the medical explanations were.
I'm no doctor! I just want to know what my kids are sick with!
So I returned it and decided to go with the new Merck Manual.
In addition to a great price, it was actually easy to read. I won't make that mistake twice, that's for sure.

I can't recommend this Health Book enough, especially to parents anxious about their kids health.

I have been looking for a Home health guide for a while now. I have been using the Mayo Clinic one and have found it to be very difficult to find the information that I am looking for and to understand it as well. So I was very pleased when I came across the Merck manual. It is very easy to understand and has a wealth of information.

The book is well organized and very easy to read. Explains things in layman's terms and is a great value. Over 2500 pages, which is more comprehensive then other options (and less expensive.)
Highly recommended

Merck's Home Health Handbook is written in everyday easy-to-understand language and provides information on health care for children and adults.
It covers all types of illnesses,explains the symptoms,treatments and prevention.
Great value - highly recommended.
