Customer Reviews

Meet the FDA Head on
I used this book as part of my reference for a Couse in " Regulatory Affairs". for anybody who is interested in this field this is the most comprehensive review to date. I feel like the Author mapped the entire process from "Concept to Product" This is a very good book well researched, and a valuable resource to students and other people in the industry.

Confusing Amazon editions listing
Amazon lists a 2003 paperback as 2nd edition and this hardback 2008 as "second edition." This hardback 2008 is clearly a later edition although both are so called second editions. Maybe the other should be called first edition, or maybe the mere fact the other was a paper back printing triggers a not-very-accurate second edition logo.

Well done book. The earlier (2003/2005) edition is available on kindle but not the 2008.
