I'll list the books in the order I see fit:

Lippincott's Illustrated Q&A Review of Anatomy and Embryology
Screen-shots from the pdf:
Review:
- This is the best anatomy question book there is in the market in my humble opinion.
- The book contains only 420 questions.
- You can do it either concurrently while doing anatomy in med school or can do it in a period of 2-3 days after you finish anatomy or at the start of your prep.
- If you bought the book from amazon or from a book store and got the website code, you can do the book on their website in tutor mode or quiz mode.
- Pictures, lots and lots of pictures. X rays, abdominal CTs, gross pictures... etc. that's the main advantage of the book during review.
- Long and greasy vignettes, the book has the longest clinical vignettes in a dedicated anatomy book I've seen or heard of, plus the questions are tailored magnificently.
- The feedback and answers. The answers are written to be long enough to help you not go back to your text but short enough not to waste any precious time.
- To have a lethal combo for anatomy: Kaplan + Q&A + doing as many questions from comprehensive banks and books as you can.

Gray's Anatomy Review
Review:
- Well, they say that the book contains 500 question but the book contains more than 900 questions.
- Most of the question stems are short and the questions are about absolute minute. a major setback in my opinion.
- The answers are not longer than a paragraph, a good point in my opinion.
Conclusion about the book: If you have tremendous amount of time DO IT! If you are short on time Lippincott's is the best choice.

Review:
- DO NOT DO IT. I think that I made the point pretty clear.
