AWESOMEEE!:

highly recommended, would buy from again anyday.
Good product, poor handling:
The book itself was a required text for one of my college courses and it fulfills it's purpose adequately. My only problem was with the condition that it arrived in. I paid for a brand new product and it arrived with a huge gouge in the front cover and binding as a result of poor handling by Amazon. It was obviously not a result of shipping as the packaging it came in was not damaged at all. It was damaged by Amazon prior to shipping it out. With such poor merchandise treatment, I will definately rethink... more info
Adequate for the student of pharmacy:
Well written and adequate for the student of pharmacy. However for this audience I would recommend Wilson and Gisvold's Textbook of Organic Medicinal and Pharmaceutical chemistry 11th Ed, because the figures and text are more complete providing a clearer more concise and rigorous treatment of the subject.
