MICROBIOLOGY book of MRS series is good and popular.

I have heard that their gross anatomy book is also very good. Can anybody who used it if its ok to use only this book for Gross Anatomy. ( I mean if used without High yield or any other gross anatomy book )

I think that maybe it is not the best idea to use that book.It is good but Hy is better option.

I think it is ok to use that book (mrs anatomy), just not as the only source. It definitely helped me to memorize some important things for the exam. Like the brachial plexus and couple more points that appeared on the exam I was able to answer thanks to that book. If you have good memory and/or limited financial resources - do not buy it. I agree with Anno, if you have to choose - go with HY, they at least give you some images to review and you do need that.

sorry Hamid I don't agree with u.I wudn't call it (MRS neuro)sufficient but with KAplan or H-Y it is good as it simplifies eveything and make it easier to memorize.But it os NOT sufficient for USMLE.Neuro is a high yeild area.
