About this title

Review:

"...it is a valuable, easy to use book that should be successful in the marketplace. It is superior to the earlier edition and to other, currently available management books. It is a plus that nearly all examples and cases use pharmacy settings."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's 2008-12-22)
