If you saw something in practice and you didn't know what it was, it's highly likely you'd find a picture of it in this book, and, better still, really useful and good quality accompanying ultrasound images and radiographs ... If I were off to an equine emergency of any description, I'd take this textbook with me. -Emma Shipman in Veterinary Record
