Good information but pretty tough to read/interpretAugust 2, 2010 R. Becker As a medical student, I wanted a quick-reference book that would be easy to find information regarding infectious disease microbes and treatment options. This book contains great information, but it is tough to find what you need in a quick manner. When you do find what you're looking for, it's tough to discern the information.
Not what I expectedJuly 29, 2010 anegret I really like the content, but the book is bigger than I thogth and is not as protectet as a wanted it to be. The pages will easily fall of. The option withot the spiral-bound is better, smaller and more protected.
Up to dateMay 16, 2010 T. Marvin This is a great resource for the most up to date recommendations for pharm therapy. The print is teeny tiny, but I guess it has to be to fit it all in this handy little 'carry everywhere' book. Once you get used to how to find the information you need, looking stuff up is easy. I use this in combination with epocrates to be sure I have the most up to date information.

This book is full of great information - - However, the print is so small that I need a magnifier to read it. I wish I had known before my purchase that the font is a 5. It is really difficult to read.
