Okay for a quick reference3
I bought this for just that, a quick reference, I didn't know it was a petite little book but that was an okay surprise (I should have looked at the dimensions I guess). It's not Mosbys but it will do in a pinch. Its easy to read but doesn't have as much detail as you might want sometimes.

Drug Reference5
Always handy in my office. We refer to this book at least once a day. It's the best up to date reference and you don't have to reach for a 5 lb Physician's Desk Reference when you can find it right here!

good reference4
This is a good small compact reference book. I do traveling coding and am always looking for reference material in a condensed format.
