Man, I keep this one with me at all times. It's like I can't seem to ever put it down! Just when I think I understand what's going on, boom! I turn the page and I'm lost in this massive sea of charts, tables, and words.
This book was useful as I first made my way through antimicrobial treatment, but I found the newer edition (2007) to contain new and more beneficial charts and tablets and recommend that version over this one.
