Bad reviews - to buy or not to buy??

Thanks everyone, i was just worried about buying it as the 'reviewer' was so negative and said it should be taken off the shelves. I will buy this book as i think it will be a good starting point for me before i begin my training. x

Mine has that error in too but I'd read the review before I bought it and decided that I probably wouldn't use for looking up dosages anyway, as confirmed by the lovely ladies above.

One mistake I made though, I bought mine on ebay and have only just noticed that it is the Indian edition, Darn it!!! I guess this means it is totally useless?

Could it just be printed in India?? They do print cheaper medical books.

It says on the back: "Reprinted by arrangement with OUP for sale in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar only and not for export therefrom. Not for sale in any other country in the world"

I bought it from an ebay company (not a private seller) they had multiple copies for sale and they were allegedly brand new although it doesn't look it, it did seem too good to be true. Perhaps the content is the same though? I'll have to compare it with other people's when I start uni.

Mmmm compare it and see. It might just be the same as it was printed for export and therefore not really for sale in this country.

I hope so because although it was cheaper than usual it wasn't cheap enough to have thrown that money away.

It probably is fine just printed on cheaper paper etc. The content will be the same. Next time you are in a book shop have a look at one.
