G & G - 1984 pages - are you joking, mjl1717? - it was question about pharmacology review for USMLE, not the biggest pharmacology textbook.

it is not only hard to speed read pharma but IMPOSSIBLE!!! i enjoyed reading lippincott esp for ANS which was clearer. i combined it with Kaplan which made better sense after.
