Not all that great. Too broad., 2008-11-17
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, 2008-09-15
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.

Nobody edited this book, 2008-03-23
There are so many mistakes in this book, average 1 per page in the math formulas, in the answer pages. Things don't match up. Did anyone bother editing this book? I can't believe thenumber of mistakes.

Fast service and Great quality!!, 2007-11-27
I needed this book for a class that I was taking over the fall semester. It was in perfect condition, and it was shipped very quickly (which was good because I ordered it after the class started). Thank you!
