5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Much Amazing!!!, September 23, 2008

This review is from: Goodman and Gilman's Manual of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (Paperback)

This book is concise and exactly what you want if you really want to study pharmacology. It is an "edited" version of the 45 pound, full-size book, but I haven't felt like I was missing out on material. I can carry it around with me to class and back home, which means that I actually use it. It includes all the important diagrams and tables that you need. The only problem I have come across is needing to find a specific reading assignment based on page numbers (I can figure it out using the chapters though). But it is cheaper, which always matters!

Well there are a lot of things I like about this book, maybe I may not be able to tell you everything, it has all the necesary information you may need. Its size is bigger than a copybook, so you can take it anywhere in your backpack and use it whenever you need it. The information is very complete so you never have to check out other book again. I recommend this book to all of you students and professionals. Check it by yourselves.
