I recently took a joint A&P class. We used Saladin's Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, 6/e. It is ridiculously comprehensive. More than you'll probably need unless you're headed to medical school, but there's nothing bad about knowing more than what's necessary. . . I suppose.
I really like Saladin. One of the most readable and reliable textbooks I've used, and he has a dry wit. Very worthwhile.

I have it here, the golden spine is now yellow but legible. Edition Five was copyrighted 1979.

We used that along with Marieb's Anatomy and Physiology Coloring Book. It seems childish to use a coloring book, but it is good for a detailed anatomy base (not really physiology). You don't have to color it, but I liked it because you're sitting there coloring in different things which will take time and subconsciously you're memorizing anatomy because you are staring at it for so long.
We used Saladin for lecture (mostly physiology) and Marieb for lab (mostly anatomy).

And the 12th edition can be a scroll, grrh. I hate e-books, but worth acquiring over a textbook when I only look up a topic here or there for clarity.

Has anyone ever heard of or used Seeley's anatomy and physiology 8th edition.
I start my A&P class in 1-2 weeks and have no clue how the book is.

Just ordered a copy of Guyton's (11th edition) for less than $40 on Amazon (used, but in "very good" condition...hopefully).
Thanks guys!

Ok im resurrecting this thread
A.) i already have Tortora's Principles of Anatomy
B.) I have multiple copies of Grays from various times
Im looking for more of an anatomical atlas. Not that Grays is bad, but it can be a little too detailed for my use sometimes. I am looking for something a bit more gross as an initial reference and then defer to Gray if i need more detail.
Any suggestions

That's really the definitive anatomy resource IMO. I still use mine on occasion, even if it does still have a slight odor of preserved cadaver.
Its really not a textbook though. As such, it doesn't explain anything about basic function (which is needed to some degree even though its physiology) and it doesn't have anything that demonstrates relationship or location. For example, the relative location, the vasculature, innervation, or lymphatic drainage of the pancreas.
I prefer Gray's Anatomy over Netter's as a text. However, use Netter to study after.
