    Review

    The second edition of this book in the very popular CRC Press series on Pharmacology and Toxicology serves as an excellent review source on current information on drug delivery systems. ... The book is well organized in that each chapter provides the reader with a table of products marketed and currently under investigation ... This book has been successful in condensing a large volume of information ... This book belongs on the shelves of pharmaceutical scientists as a short reference guide to the discipline. Students will also find this text useful for surveying the broad topic of drug delivery systems in a relatively small volume.
