Ok... Here is the deal. The only thing you REALLY need in first term medical school are the following: Netter's Atlas of Anatomy and Wikipedia! That's it. If I had to choose THE MOST IMPORTANT study aids for first term, those would be my recommendations. The rest of the books that they give you are just fluff. AND it is way easier to just type in a few words into wikipedia and find an answer in about 2 seconds rather than skimming a text book for 15 minutes to maybe come up with an answer.
If Frank Netter were still alive, I would ask him to marry me. His text is soooooooooooo key. Most of the anatomy pictures on wikipedia are from Gray's Anatomy, i.e. "Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical" by Henry Gray, (published in 1858, as Wikipedia just told me) and the images are really not that good.
So, in summary, if you don't have Netter's Atlas of Anatomy, go buy it. You can look it up on wikipedia to see how much it costs.
