hi im looking to improve my knowledge of the human body, but im having trouble deciding and finding the right learning material.
im currently studying biology at A-level unfortunately there is very few parts on anatomy.

any way as a result im looking for an in depth book/dvd that will give me the following:

full colour detailed pictures of the human body skin/muscle/bone/organs
a detailed written explanation of the names and purpose of each of the above. e.g. something that will help with both my Biology studies as well as my ZBrush Studies.
fairly cheap, i.e. less than £50/$100
i have been considering this book

Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com: WITH Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)
by Frank H. Netter (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/202-7163773-2531814?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books-uk&field-author=Frank%20H.%20Netter) (Author)

Scott Eaton's recent interview here at ZBrushCentral (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=057063) has a link to his website - http://www.scott-eaton.com/anatomy-for-digital-artists - that has lots of excellent information from a digital artists perspective. Check out his reference material for his class (http://www.scott-eaton.com/anatomy-and-sculpture-reference-library).

Good luck.
