An anatomy reference book for a layperson?

Post date: 2020-01-22 16:08:02

I keep getting ailments in various parts of my body and then searching for anatomy drawings on the internet and getting frustrated by the results--things are paywalled or tiny or don't show the right angle. Are there any good books of detailed, labelled color drawings that cover human anatomy comprehensively and relatively authoritatively?

Basically a nice coffee-table atlas, but for the human body.* Explanations of of basic systems (e.g. how a pancreas regulates insulin) would be nice but I'm most interested just in good pictures: Where exactly is my spleen relative to everything else in there? Which cartilage does this tendon go between? Hopefully for non-textbook prices (<$50). Pdf/epub resources or really good websites recommendations would be helpful too, but a book would be best.

* Searching Amazon for "atlas of the human body" turns up plenty, so I guess I'm asking for specific recommendations that 1. look nice and 2. are most likely to help me understand a wide variety of health issues.

Thanks!
