Speedy
I bought this book because It was required for my reading assignments and I needed it right away for getting information in order to do an assignment. I trusted the service and I chose the traditional speed even though it says that they will mail out the item within one to seven working days. They sent my item right the next working day and got my book before the week was over. I was really glad. About the information in the book, what can I say, this book is the main source where I get the information for my class assignments, so it is great because I don't have to buy other extra books. Overall it is a great book with a lot of important information.

Excellent source of information ( rholmes60 )
This book is an excellent source of information when it comes to OB. I am very pleased with how the content is easy to understand. The pictures are a great source of information. This by far is the best book a student can purchase for nursing school in your OB rotation. This book went right along on how the teacher explained it to us. Thanks to OLDs for coming up with such a great OB book. Keep up the good work. Students need something that is easy to relate to and understand. This is the book you would want to purchase.
Thanks again,
Rosie Holmes

Olds' lacking index ( moosechips )
While this text is a core for many parent-child health nursing courses and does have some great information, it's greatest drawback is the index. Yes, the index. The index is poorly designed such that students often cannot find the particular subject matter they are searching for. Although this appears to be a minor concern, after wasted hours at failed attempts to locate many different items, this issue is both frustrating and a drain on nursing students' precious resource - time.
