This book covers the fundamentals of HPLC separation with the inclusion of most recent advancements in the areas, such as column technologies, UPLC and LC-NMR. I found this book is really useful in a sense it provides overviews in almost every stages in the drug industry from discovery and process development to formulation, drug metabolism, and commercialization. This directly helps me to work more effectively with analytical chemists from other functional areas. The authors surely understand what are the practical challenges that a bench analytical chemist is facing everyday and provide a lot of usful strategies such as method development recipe in chapter 8 to tackle the problems. Overview, I view this book as a great reference for HPLC separation and problem solving manual for the analytical chemists in pharmaceutical industry.

This book is very in-depth.

It takes you from the fundamentals (what is the difference between reverse and normal phase HPLC?) to the small details (how will A2 values affect your separations?).

Some of the chapters were written by non-native English speakers, so some of the commas and other minor details are missing. This does not affect the quality of the information presented, it just means that sometimes you'll need to read a sentence twice in order to understand it.

This is a good read for both grad students and those working in industry.
