Free Pharmacotherapy Handbook, Eighth Edition
This has been referenced by me in a PharmD program FAR more often than the actual Pharmacotherapy text. It is small enough to be portable, and the information is useful as the standard of practice. The only reason it gets 4 stars is that some information is only available in the actual text (obviously). Only twice in the months have I referenced this book have I had to look toward the bigger book.
WELL worth the price and the convenience. It condenses the readings without cutting out necessary content.

My "mini-DiPiro" was the best purchase that I made before going on pharmacy school clinical rotations. Most basic information you can now easily grab from MicroMedex or UpToDate, but this book is a fantastic tool for guiding complex drug therapy regimens for disease states.
Essentially this handbook takes the monster sized DiPiro tome and pulls out of it all the bullet points, tables, charts, and diagrams that you could ever want. All the major disease states are fantastically broken down with sections on diagnosis, guidelines, symptoms, and key points on the various classes of medications used to treat the conditions.
The only flaw that keeps this review from a much deserved 5 stars is that I had already owned the 7th edition. Wanting to stay on top of the curve for new pharmacotherapy developments I made a somewhat foolish gamble and bought an 8th edition recently. The 8th edition adds almost nothing to the 7th. Some chapters actually seem to have less information than before (maybe things were too cluttered?).
Still though, this is THE BEST pharmacy handbook that you can own. It's the only book reference that I regularly use at my job.
