One major drawback: There is no solutions manual. Granted, the answers are at the ends of chapters, and this is all right for the most part. But there are some questions for which a simple answer is inadequate. Either the chapter lesson leaves the student unprepared to answer the question, or the wording of the question is ambiguous, so the student has to work backwards from the answer. A book of highly technical calculations, especially by the 13th edition should have a solutions manual.

The book arrived way ahead of schedule and in the condition promised. It has been very helpful with my classes in pharmacy school.

If you are a professor choosing a textbook for your pharmaceutical calculations class, I would strongly suggest looking for another book. I am currently in a pharm calc course, and this is our book. The explanations are simply not there for how to solve the problems in this book, which is somewhat okay until you get past everyday dosage/qty type calculations that any pharmacy employee can do in his/her head. There has to be a better textbook out there. Keep looking.

Our college bookstore ran out of this book and I needed it fast. I ordered the book and received it within the week and in the condition described. Thanks!!

the condition of the book when i received it is as stated in the description. the book arrived in a timely manner and the payment went without a glitch.

This book in my opinion is a waste of money. It's poorly written, the expamples in each chapter are nothing like examples given in classroom setting, the author uses his own method of solving problems. The end of chapter exercises are pointless to do because they only provide the answer and not how they got to the answer.

Great book! Explains concepts clearly complete with examples and practice problems. Arrives quickly and in brand new condition as promised.

the book is ok sometimes but most of the time it's only the answers at the end of the chapters and not how to do them. there are many problems I have to work on for a long time and look at other texts just to solve. The chapters are inadequate to solve some of the end of chapter problems without further help or rigorous contemplation.

The book doesn't show how to solve the problems in details. It only provides answers.

It is a great book, to not only learn new methods of pharmacy calculations but also to review calculations and formulas you may already know.
