The font size is incredibly small making it difficult to read. I like a real book, but perhaps kindle where you can make the font larger would be a good way to go.

The text is easy to flip through to find the topic you are looking for. Well organized and will serve as a good reference book when I am in practice.

Everything was just as it was supposed to be. Package arrived in excellent condition.

Well written, great format! One of the best textbooks I have ever used! (FNP student)
