Wynn Kapit graduated in 1955 from the University of Miami, Florida with honors in Business Administration and Law. He then attended Art Center School in Los Angeles and worked in New York as a graphic designer and advertising art director from 1960-66. He moved to California to pursue a painting career and was given a one-man show at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco in 1968. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and received a Masters in Painting and worked as a portraitist and teacher of figure drawing.
While taking a class in human anatomy at San Francisco City College, he discovered a way to effectively learn the subject by coloring in drawings, diagrams and names. The teacher of the course, Lawrence Elson, Ph.D. agreed to help him produce a coloring book. Elson wrote and Kapit designed and illustrated The Anatomy Coloring Book, which was published in 1977 and has been a widely-translated bestseller ever since. The Physiology Coloring Book was published in 1987, with the assistance of two professors from Berkeley: Robert Macey and Esmail Meisami. The Geography Coloring Book was published in 1991; Kapit drew the maps and wrote the text. The Anatomy Coloring Book was published in a second edition in 1993, and second editions of Geography and Physiology Coloring Books will be published in 1997.
Lawrence M. Elson received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Zoology (Pre-Med), and completed his graduate and Ph.D. work in Human Anatomy also at the University of California, Berkeley. Elson has served as an instructor in human anatomy at the City College of San Francisco, an assistant professor of anatomy at Baylour College of Medicine, and as a lecturer at numerous additional universities and professional organizations.
Elson is the founder and president of Coloring Concepts, Ltd. (CCI), producer and packager of college level, educational, scientific directed-coloring texts. He is the author/co-author of the Anatomy Coloring Book, Human Brain Coloring Book, Zoology Coloring Book, and Microbiology Coloring Book.
Presently, he is principally functioning as a clinical and forensic anatomist retained as a consultant to governments, provinces, insurance and other corporations, and law firms on causation of injury issues in cases in or anticipated to be involved in litigation.
Future plans include expanding CCI by developing new titles in the physical sciences and other education-related disciplines.

I purchased this wonderfully priced book for my medical term course and it was such a good book. The delivery was a blink of an eye and the book was in superb condition when I recieved it. I would highly recommend you to purchase this book from this company. I am a very picky consumer and when I find a good find, I tell the world.

The Anatomy Coloring book was a "suggested" book for my anatomy class. Another person in my class had it and said it was a big help and since I need all the help I can get I bought it. I made much better grades after I received it and when the others in my class saw it, they were hooked as well. The coloring book really helps you to visually learn anatomy. It is the perfect companion but ONLY if you are serious about using it!

This is a good re-enforcing tool when learning muscle groups. However, the text is a little too small for my liking. The most helpful aspect is when coloring in groups, its much easier to visualize how they work together, and makes memorizing them easier. The biggest drawback to me was the size of the drawings and text; too small.

I am terrible at remembering things and have a hard time studying but this book is a big help with my massage studying. Although it has a lot more information than I need it makes learning a lot more enjoyable.
