'The Orange Guide has been a convenient and authoritative source of information since 1971. The 2007 edition continues in that great tradition. What I really like about the publication is the availability of a significant number of useful and relevant guidance documents in one place...very amenable to being carted around in your briefcase...no excuse not to have within easy reach and for it to be well thumbed.'
Ann McGee, The Irish Pharmacy Journal, 2007, 85 (4), 172

'...one major advantage of this book is its efficient use as one complete, integrated volume. Another beneficial feature is the availability of the book as a CD-ROM. All of the latest revisions to the regulations are found in one place. It is very straightforward as a reference work...as a reproduction of official rule and regulations that every manufacturer needs, this is a must-have item for any endeavour doing business within the EU or planning to do so in the future.'
