Sales of the "Good Pharmacist" have surpassed the 5000 mark. Not only are individual pharmacists ordering the book, but colleges of pharmacy are using the book as a required reading, and providing the book for their incoming students at "white coat" ceremonies." Sales are also strong in hospitals where pharmacy preceptors are providing copies to the pharmacy resients and interns, Said author William N. Kelly, "this book has hit a chord with pharmacists who know some pharmacists stand out among their peers and want to know why."
