The Sick Rose: Or; Disease and the Art of Medical Illustration Hardcover – 2 Jun. 2014

Super quirky and beautifully presented

Such an beautiful book, full of interesting facts and images. I found this book while browsing and I was hesitant to buy but I'm so glad I did.Please go buy this book you won't be disappointed.Beautiful condition, quick delivery very happy I did.

I bought this on a whim as I've got an interest in older medical illustration. I am thoroughly pleased with the book. The illustrations are all of really good quality and shows the progression of a large number of illnesses and conditions that with the advent of modern medicine are no longer seen in medical practice (well, at least I hope they're not). I personally think this is a fantastic coffee table book, my girlfriend on the other hand disagrees. Apparently, it may put some people off their biscuits.....

Absolutely love this book. The quality is impeccable. The page quality is amazing. Not flimsy at all. The overall finish of the book is absolutely beautiful. I love anything medically related so buying this book was a must.Very interesting read and the images compliment it beautifully

I bought this book based on the reviews on Amazon, and it is amazing; morbid and fascinating. I look forward to buying the other books in this series

Hard to do justice in a review to the quality of the printing. I can't remember having seen another book which has clearly had so much effort put in to getting the images and text absolutely perfect, apart from the sister book, "Crucial Interventions" to which these comments apply equally.Book Depository dispatched it promptly, and their description was entirely fair.

Beautifully horrible illustrations - I got this for my daughter who'd just started work in a pathology lab, but had a look at it myself first. The only thing I didn't like was the use of very thick, very black lines as part of the design (luckily not on all pages) which overwhelmed the delicate and tenderly drawn illustrations.

Very fascinating book. Would love a crimes/crime scene one in a similar style. Crimes such as Jonestown etc
