It's a fascinating chronicle of how the world's most famous anatomy text came to be. It includes biographies of the two authors, plus the supporting cast of people in their lives.

Bill Hayes has written two other books: Sleep Demons: An Insomniac's Memoir and Five Quarts: A Personal and Natural History of Blood.

He is a compelling writer! I highly recommend all his writing.
