There are so many mistakes in this book, average 1 per page in the math formulas, in the answer pages. Things don't match up. Did anyone bother editing this book? I can't believe thenumber of mistakes.

I really dislike this textbook. The topics are often convoluted and difficult to understand, the examples do not always make sense, and the review questions take forever to figure out. This is somthing I would buy only if I already understood the mathematics and general information behind Pharmacokinetics and Biopharmaceutics. Being new to the field, this book was a poor choice.

First of all, I can't believe how stupid my fellow peers are. This is NOT the place to comment about your seller. Can't you read? Some of you are going to be future pharmacists? Hope you aren't practicing in my state.

That being said, I was disappointed in the book. I felt that my professor covered subjects more adequately than this book did. It was simplified and, like another reviewer mentioned, all over the place. My professor did admit that it wasn't the best book out there for biopharmaceutics, but it was decent. It's simplified, so it will probably help you get started with your studies. You do want supplemental reading though if your professor isn't that great. (Thankfully mine was.)

This text has good information; however, constant manipulation of the formulas without explaination makes this text hard to follow. For someone trying to review calculations they have not studied in a while, this text skips the commonly forgotten math (integration) hindering complete understanding. I was often questioning for whom exactly the book was designed. This text has excellent problem sets. Having studied with one of the coauthors, I was a little suprised as her classroom notes would have made a superior text.

Price was reasonable. Item was in exact condition as described. Transaction was smooth and item was shipped within a reasonable time. I would gladly do business with this seller again.

This book took over 3 weeks to get to me. I did not have it for school and missed assignments because of it. I was VERY disappointed in AMAZON.

Great serive from seller! Seller was honest and book was in good condition! It did however have more highlights in the book than I thought it would! Overall good experience and I would by from this seller again!

The book was sent in excellent condition and it was received quickly. It has no highlights or ripped pages. The seller was honest about the quality of the book and easy to communicate with.

I needed this book for a class that I was taking over the fall semester. It was in perfect condition, and it was shipped very quickly (which was good because I ordered it after the class started). Thank you!

I received my book in a timely manner and the book was brand new. I was very pleased with my purchase and would shop with amazon.com again! The only thing that could have been slightly improved was the price! :)
