Well written and adequate for the student of pharmacy. However for this audience I would recommend Wilson and Gisvold's Textbook of Organic Medicinal and Pharmaceutical chemistry 11th Ed, because the figures and text are more complete providing a clearer more concise and rigorous treatment of the subject.

It amazes me that a book in its 6th edition would still have so many errors. In chapter 2 alone I found 5 errors. As a student, it makes me wonder how many more errors there are that I am just accepting as fact. It provides sparse case studies, but the answers are not given in the book, and many of the answers are not given online either to the students, and are only available for professors to see. Perhaps wait for the 7th edition to come out, and hope that they iron out the mistakes they made in this one.

What can I say, this book is great. A terrific resource for the study of Medicinal Chemistry. It's what the faculty recommend using for my Medicinal Chemistry program, and it is often referenced by professors.

This book is a required text for the University course it was purchased for. It is a quality hard bound reference text and will be a valuable resource for years to come.

This book was a very useful tool for me to understand my Organic Chemistry Class. However, I don't recommend it for light reading.

I haven't actually used this book yet (so far the professor has given us excellent notes), but it is full of information that I'll probably use when I need to review everything. Very comprehensive for reviewing a specific topic, but a bit boring to just read.

The book itself was a required text for one of my college courses and it fulfills it's purpose adequately. My only problem was with the condition that it arrived in. I paid for a brand new product and it arrived with a huge gouge in the front cover and binding as a result of poor handling by Amazon. It was obviously not a result of shipping as the packaging it came in was not damaged at all. It was damaged by Amazon prior to shipping it out. With such poor merchandise treatment, I will definately rethink using Amazon as a future supplier.

this book came much earlier than expected, within like 2 days!
awesome quality & great service.
highly recommended, would buy from again anyday.
