I am looking for a good reference book to add to my knowledge of anatomy...in particular diagrams of the muscular and skeletal systems.

Is Gray's Anatomy still the best book out there?

thanks.

The Atlas of Human Anatomy, Frank Netter, M.D.

Acland's Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, Robert Acland, FRCS

is this for an adult, a child, or someone in between? Also, is this person knowelgable about science or do they have a hard time grasping it? I guess you also need to look at those factors before deciding what book is best suited.

this is for an adult with a relatively strong understanding of science and physiology...but by no means an expert.

What I'm looking for is a well illustrated book (I'd like to better understand muscles, muscle groups, their intereaction, and insertion points).

Thanks.

A pricey, ~$200 US, but excellent technical reference
is Travell And Simon's two volume Myofascial Pain And Dysfunction The Trigger Point Manual.

I like the anatomy coloring book found in any bookstore for only twenty dollars
