This review is from: Handbook of Process Chromatography, Second Edition: Development, Manufacturing, Validation and Economics (Hardcover)

This book bascially takes you through day 1 of drug manufacturing all the way to the end, when you have deal with regulatory. It also discusses analytical methods which was of great interest to me. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about this field.
