Novak’s Textbook of Gynecology

by Howard Jones, MD, Anne Wentz MD, Connie Burnett, MD, Williams and Wilkins

This is the classic gynecology textbook that I would expect to see in any gynecologist’s office or any other practitioner who delivers gynecological health care. You can’t beat this as a reference book with comprehensive chapters on all the typical gynecological disorders. This text is updated frequently which increases its value as an accurate practical compendium of information on disease descriptions, diagnosis and conventional treatments.

Textbook of Natural Medicine, 5th Edition

by Arthur Herbst, MD, Daniel Mishell, MD, Morton Stenchever, MD, William Drogemueller, MD.

I often prefer this textbook as a comprehensive gynecology reference book depending on the medical topic. I like the way it is written and I can often find a more satisfactory answer to my questions than the other two general gynecology reference books I use.
