The book I order was in perfect working condition. It gets the job done in class. One of the corners is bent back a little and the is a huge coffee circle in the middle of the cover, but I can still see all the text perfectly.
Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Bought the third edition for a class and I didnt even need this one but since I read the last edition I knew this would be good as well. So far I have not been disappointed and there is a good deal of information that was not in the last edition. This book is highly recommended.

A Good Very Basic Look at Medicinal Chemistry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is good in the sense that it is an easy read for anyone interested in the subject. The drawings and cartoons provide a bit of humor to the text and the writing is cloear and focused. The only drawback to the book is that the layperson does not get the full effect of the book without a very good grasp of biochemistry (hence the term layperson!). To get the real scope of the book, one would need to read a good Biochem text ( I personally suggest Lehninger, et. al. Principles of Biochemistry, 3rd ed.). A good pharmacological text would greatly enhance the reader's understanding of the subject as well (i.e. Goodman and Gilman's). Otherwise, the book does give a very brief, very good overview of many aspects of Medicinal Chemistry.
