...okay all you connoiseurs of the human form, I would like to buy a copy of Gray's Anatomy for my reference library...when I look online there are several versions, anyone have a recommendation as to which one might serve a carver well??

Gray's is certainly the bible of such studies. A first edition would be a nice addition to your library

. I think most of the later versions are an attempt to make it more readable as the original was highly technical (how's your Latin?). If your set on Gray's I recomend reading the reviews for each, but there are many good 'anatomy for artists' books out there that will teach you all you need to know with some helpfull insights.

Tony,
An anatomy book that was recommended to me is: Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist by Stephen Rogers Peck. It is Published by Oxford University Press. The ISBN is 0-19-503095-8.
Larry Rogers, a carving instructor at John C. Campbell recommended it to a carving class I was in.
