Gold Standard
I have used this little gem for fifteen + years. It is widely, almost universally, accepted among doctors as reliable, quick, and complete. Any practicing physician who prescribes antibiotics and treats a variety of infectious diseases should have a current copy of Sanford's.
Not too useful
Didn't end up using it as much as I thougth I would, but then again, I'm just starting out in my practice. I think the Tarascon Pharmacopia book is better to have if I had to choose one pocket guide. EVerything else, I use my PDA for.
Sanford ID Guide
Larger format much easier to read, yet still pocket size. Very reliable and up to date. Addresses lyme disease, STD's , MRSA. Gives alternatives for patients with allergies. I've been using this for 20 years and still appreciate its concise, reliable information. Even though the web has emerged, I still like having a print version at my fingertips.
