Customer Rating:  
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: After finding the Merck Index an invaluable reference over the decades, I purchased the Merck Manual. Unlike the Index, the Manual has virtually no supportive references for its claims. The Manual can only be viewed as a most rudimentary "reference" book for the relatively ignorant laymen. Entering terms into a Google search would prove a better use of your time than reading this ersatz Merck effort.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Book was a gift.
Comment: I bought this as a gift. My mother wanted to know more about aging and what to expect at 60, what is normal. She seems to be utilizing the book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best I've Seen on Elder Care
Comment: This manual is the best manual of information I have seen, and will be recommending it on my website for eldercaregive info for those who want the information in print.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good coverage -- but a little dumbed down.
Comment: This seems to be an abridgment of all the material found in the Merck Manual home addition of relevance to aging or typical diseases of aging. It is missing some of the detail, and my guess is that there are better books for a more sophisticated older reader, including the Merck Manual itself. It is printed in relatively large type. There is an enormous quantity of common sensical repetition, such as the trope about "people tend to slow down a bit as they age". This mantra is repeated in one form or another every few pages.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good basic medical review
Comment: This book is a very good "first look" for general medical info...better written than most of the info on the 'net...
