In February 1999, Johnston started off in Houston, Texas with only three members, but many more telling him - "It can never be done..." Johnston quickly mastered the leadership, communication, and marketing skills that were necessary for the realization of his vision.
Today, the association Johnston founded, NPTA - the National Pharmacy Technician Association, seven years ago, has exploded, having grown to more than 30,000 worldwide. Johnston's passion is helping others, particularly pharmacy professionals, discover and reach their full potential in life, both professionally and personally.

Although there are a few mistakes in this book, I found it very easy to understand and important in order to be a pharmacy tech and understanding pharmacy math. We used it in our college class, and of all the books I have, I found myself referring to this one the most. Being a college book, it is written and explained for normal people. You don't have to be a genius to learn from this book. I have ordered all of the books in this series for my personal use because of this book, especially to prepare for the exam and they are all easy to understand.

As a pharmacy technician myself with over 26 years experience, I found this text to be mediocore at best. There are many mistakes and wrong answers in this book, leading me to believe that I can't trust ANY answers in it. As an instructor of pharmacy technicians I once used this as a text book, but even my students were finding errors and pointing them out to me, so I found it necessary to stop using this book. I don't recommend it to anyone.

This is a great book. I love math, but there were some things I had forgotten from my chemistry and math days. This book starts with the basics and slowly works your way up to the really complex stuff and helps you review those basics that you don't do every day, but will need to pass the exam. Great book - you won't have to worry about struggling on any of the math on the pharmacy tech exam with this book. A++++
