I have tried all these books, even 2007 version of it, I hated Aulton 2007 but this book is amazing! It has been neatly tidied up and with sections and very good summary in the beginning it has covered almost everything (looking forward for more in the future!The editorial and author team deliver a tour de force of accessibility, coverage and currency in this new edition of a world-class textbook. It it a bit long-winded and sometimes difficult to understand, but maybe it is because i dislike pharmaceutics!
