Product Reviews

(5 stars) - Five stars
The book arrived extremly quickly for an international shipping and in an excellent condition. Would by again from this seller.

(2 stars) - Maternity & Women's Health Care (Lowdermilk, Maternity & Women's Health Care)
This book is alright but needs improvement. Some of the resources sited are from less than reputable (i.g. Wikipedia). It needs better organization instead of putting thought fragments randomly in sections where it does not belong, and it needs to stop repeating the same information in different ways over and over through the chapters.

(4 stars) - Great buy
Nice book for OB. The price from Amazon was good too. I actually conmsidered to stop purchases from Amazon because of problems I have always had with products said to qualify on free super saver shipping. However this one came in earlier than expected.

(5 stars) - Great Book
I would definitely recommend this book to maternity, L&D, postpartum nurses who like to get information from a hardbound reliable source. It has good, detailed information. Only downside, textbooks go out of date. So it's probably best as a tool for while you're in nursing school still.
