Rating:  - Big Bang for the Buck!
This PDR is a great value. Most PDR's cost 3X this one. Plus you get the information on a CD ROM, too. My husband was thrilled with this gift.

Extremely pleased...in excellent condition for an used book, especially one of this type, which are normally used often by an owner; the pages appear brand new.

Essential reference for those who take prescription drugs and wish to know more about those drugs. Most valuable to those with scientific training, but useful to all. Much better than simplistic references put out by others.

Per section 2)TERM of the EULA, "license shall remain in effect for between FIFTEEN AND TWENTY MONTHS . . .", "AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN DEVICE SHALL ... Read More
