Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Es un compendio de excelente calidad. De ágil lectura, dispone de una forma dinámica para encontrar las distintas patologías relacionadas con la mácula.

⭐RE: Gass’ Atlas 5th Edition (Kindle Edition)While the content of the Kindle edition of this atlas is good, it is let down by one very major flaw – lack of a proper table of contents. The physical book as well as the online version both have a detailed table of contents while only the major headings are displayed in the Kindle edition.Unfortunately the search function is overly inclusive and it is difficult to distinguish whether the keyword one has typed in is coming up in a major heading, or simply in the exhaustive reference list that is found at the end of each chapter. There should be an advanced search option to exclude finding keywords within the references.On a mac computer it is not possible to zoom in on the pictures, but it is possible to do so when using an iPhone or iPad. This limitation is irritating as I mostly use a mac laptop.I’m not happy after having spent over $300 for a product I expected to be as good as the print copy, but with the distinct advantage of portability. I have emailed Amazon asking them to update the Kindle edition of this atlas but I have not had a response after about 3 weeks. The Kindle edition is very difficult to navigate and as a result I am not using it much. If these issues are resolved in an update, it will be a fantastic resource.

⭐I got a used copy with top of pages missing so I could not read half of it but since the diseases are hereditary with no treatments, it’s not like that harms anyone. It has nice photos that are fun and enjoyable to look at.

⭐the second volume is not delivered and The corners of the book as seen in the pics are also damaged
