m4 here - used the previous edition numerous times every single day for the last 1.5 years... they've added more color here to this book. It's easier to navigate through the book with the color tabs. Also, they've gotten rid of the older drugs, which makes it easier to find what you want. I'm not sure if they've added new stuff in there, but I don't care, since I'm in medical school and I just need the basics. Most importantly -- at least for me -- they've added a lot of tables, and I'm a huge fan of tables. Would I buy it again? I'm not sure. It's a lot easier to navigate with the color tabs, but let's face it: if you're looking for a drug and you have 4 residents and an attending waiting for you to give them the dosing, you're going to go straight to the index. Also, it's easier to navigate with the color tabs, but I don't use this book to study from obviously, and I don't use it for casual reading, so the color tabs don't really help out "that" much. However, I can see how someone else might appreciate that (had a few classmates buy it just because of those colored tabs). The tables are obviously awesome, but I don't think they are worth buying this book for. Just my n=1.

Received the book quickly and it is in perfect condition. Excited to use this tool as I begin my career as an ARNP!
