I am from India, and I totally agree with your points. I studied Last's anatomy in 1998.

You're most welcome. Gray's Anatomy is very reputed anatomy book, used by medical students worldwide. It is known for the detailing, and very crisp diagrams/illustrations. Since it is voluminous, a lot of students prefer reading other anatomy books, such as Last's anatomy, Snell's anatomy etc. But it holds the reputation of being the most top-notch.
