I never leave home without this book. I would have given it 5 stars but I noticed this edition lacks the plastic cover which I was accustomed to with my '08 edition. I feel the cover is essential to keeping the book protected all year long.

Best pocket reference available, PDAs are great but they can be slower when looking for an immediate answer. I highly recommend this product to everyone.

AS always Tarascon delivers a good book, BUT this year the list words in the back are smaller and harder for me to read! Either the type of font/font size was changed or something, but as much as I like it I may have to revert back to my older edition! I bought the Lab-Coat Edition specifically because I knew the font would be larger than the pocket edition I first got. I am disappointed this year but will continue to use it.

I've had older versions of these for many years- always very compact and fit into lab coat easily. Yes, this one will fit into your lab coat but it is more the size of a Sanford antimicrobial guide than the usual pharmacopoeia that I'm used to.
