Meet the MedMaster
How it started
MedMaster was founded in 1979 by Stephen Goldberg MD.

From rejection...
After his first book, Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple, was rejected by multiple publishers for making a serious topic funny and being too brief.
One rejection letter from a major university press included a brutal critique of Goldberg's manuscript: "The inane examples ... alone would alienate both faculty and students. There may be a small group of medical students who might enjoy the sophomoric humor, but most of these students have been frozen socially since the sixth grade and do not represent the medical student community."

... to global success!
Dr. Goldberg subsequently decided to self publish and created MedMaster Inc. Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple is now approaching close to 500,000 copies sold, MedMaster has published over 40 titles, and has distributed over 3 million books, with many students sharing their copies. Go figure!
