We’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. The last edition of the Canadian Drug pocket guide was released in early 2011 and went out of print in mid-2012 – and we’ve had customers looking for the new edition ever since.

So, after promised 2012, 2013, and 2014 release dates fell by the wayside, we started seeing signs of a 2015 release. But we’ve been burned before, people, so this time we waited until we actually were able to open a box and see them inside, and that long anticipated day finally arrived last week.

More than half our original order went to a waiting list stretching all the way back to 2012, but we do have more copies on the shelf, and now that the new edition is actually in print again, we should be able to restock whenever necessary.

Here are the publisher’s selling points…
