Price was reasonable. Item was in exact condition as described. Transaction was smooth and item was shipped within a reasonable time. I would gladly do business with this seller again.

It's ok

This isn't the best book there is, but it is a good book. Yes, there are a few typos, but they aren't that bad. All I need to learn is this book.

Generally useful but maybe not for the clinician.

This text has good information; however, constant manipulation of the formulas without explaination makes this text hard to follow. For someone trying to review calculations they have not studied in a while, this text skips the commonly forgotten math (integration) hindering complete understanding. I was often questioning for whom exactly the book was designed. This text has excellent problem sets. Having studied with one of the coauthors, I was a little suprised as her classroom notes would have made a superior text.

Not all that great. Too broad.

First of all, I can't believe how stupid my fellow peers are. This is NOT the place to comment about your seller. Can't you read? Some of you are going to be future pharmacists? Hope you aren't practicing in my state.

That being said, I was disappointed in the book. I felt that my professor covered subjects more adequately than this book did. It was simplified and, like another reviewer mentioned, all over the place. My professor did admit that it wasn't the best book out there for biopharmaceutics, but it was decent. It's simplified, so it will probably help you get started with your studies. You do want supplemental reading though if your professor isn't that great. (Thankfully mine was.)

AWFUL

This book took over 3 weeks to get to me. I did not have it for school and missed assignments because of it. I was VERY disappointed in AMAZON.
