Understanding Pharmacology for Health Professionals,

This review is from: Understanding Pharmacology for Health Professionals (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I've purchased several used books through Amazon's website previously and, as always, I needed this latest book to be as clean as possible of highlight marks and personal notes. Described as a used book in 'good condition', I was pleasantly surprised when I received it in 'excellent, unmarked condition' instead. Thanks Amazon for the scrutiny you use with product descriptions for used products!
