This review is from: The People's Pharmacy, Completely New and Revised (Mass Market Paperback)

The above book was supposed to be the new & revised edition. The publisher's date was sometime in the 1990's. It was a gift so I cannot remember the exact date, but it was not in any date containing the numbers 2000. The gift receipient was not impressed. When I last talked to the person to whom I gave the book, she was disappointed with what she had read so far. She said the book's hype and its contents were two different things.

I was hoping for an alternative to the jargon laden books on drugs that most people [over]rely on. The information was concise and very readable.
