One of my favourites

Pocket Essentials is a great little book to review the night before you start on a rotation. It is small enough that you can easily read over the chapter and then appear on the ward with a good idea of what is going on. It doesn't replace the Oxford Handbook but rather compliments it. The Oxford Handbook is great for key facts, Pocket Essentials on the other hand gives a fundamental overview of what you need to know.

Excellent	Customer Rating:
One should have a larger book but for quick reference as a pocket/bag book its excellent for students and trainees and I have recently been encouraging my doctors to get one especially those doing GPVTS who would just not have the time or interest to wade through K&C. As such it's a slightly more gentle way to revise basic medicine. It is different to OHCM and fulfills a different need.

Very good	Customer Rating:
I liked this book. I didn't use it as much as I thought I would but it was useful having a smaller reference book (although not pocket-size by a long shot!) to carry around on wards etc - it's more digestible and easier to follow than big K & C, and gives a little more background than the oxford handbook - and I know people who use it to revise for finals.
