Recommended Books for First and Second Year MBBS

text books for 1st and 2nd year mbbs Hi,
I am Dr. Adil Ramzan: I have gone through the first and second year of the MBBS in the study. Whenever I passed an exam and got promotion to next year i wondered which book to follow.
There are few books which are recommended by universities, these are authentic books and a student must follow them for reference. There are other shorter books. students love shorter books as they are less scary.
Anyhow i am mentioning authentic recommended books of first-year MBBS: (I don’t remember the exact title of books, but i am mentioning the authors' names.)
