For the average person, it may seem like a pretty expensive book- considering that it is a veterinary book, that is understandable. I personally found this book to be worth the penny, and being a full time student, money does not come by easily. I got lucky and had some spare money the week prior to this books release and I wanted it so badly, so I decided I would go out and preorder it. I did, I was happy and I am now so glad I did that. I am not even half way through it and so far I'm impressed. It's a very, basic book, but the way it holds and represents certain information is what I find best part about it.
Compared to other books, especially like BDF3, it does not exeed them in any way- but it makes for a good go to book with certain things. It's not too bulky either, so it could easily be carried around compared to most veterinary books.
I will continue writing here, after I have completed the book and will have a final say.
