I just received this book and I have not gotten to the real content of the book yet but already have a firm recommendation: Never buy a I-Series book from McGraw Hill.
The physical structure of the book is terrible -- it is just a fat magazine with thicker cover page. 8.5x11 pages that flop over. It has stupid trivia questions in it. A good percentage of the front pages introduce you to the book series and basics on microsoft office.

Because the drawings are simple, this book may be useful for young students aided by a teacher, but I do not recommend it for college or professional students. The very first page (3), a drawing of the histology of the skin, has a major mistake. The epidermis is upside down relative to the hair follicles. Skin includes the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis or subcutis, but the drawing labeled "layers of the skin" shows only epidermis (upside down). According to the answer key, the stratum basale on page 3 is the epidermis, the stratum spinosum on page 3 is the dermis, and the veins on page 5 are nerves. Throughout the book, the term "cross section" is used incorrectly. For example, the drawing on page 111 is a median sagittal section not a cross section or a ventral view as it is labeled.

This is a graphic novel, not graphic meaning explicit, but meaning it looks like a comic strip. The main character is a woman, Ms. Tree. She's a private investigator looking into some violence against abortion clinics.

I didn't like the format, I didn't like the characters, I didn't like the plot. But hey, you may love it. It's just not the sort of mystery I like at all.
