MD
Interesting reading. However, if you are interested in observational studies, this is not the book for you.

Very useful
This book is a must-have addition to any pharmaceutical statistician's library. It serves as a reference book as well as providing solutions for the most common (and some of the less common) sample size problems.

It comes with a CD (which I haven't looked at yet) containing all the tables and a free sample size program. Given the price for commercial sample size software, this is excellent value.
