There are a few books, such as The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action by Silverman (a medicinal chemistry textbook) and Classics in Total Synthesis by Nikolaou and Sorenson that would be very specific things. Silverman is very what are inhibitors, what does LD50/ED50 actually mean, SAR analysis, combi-chem, etc. Nikolaou and Sorsenson cover the classic synthesis of things such as erythronolide B, progesterone, strychnine and cocaine (the inactive enantiomer, of course).
There are obviously other resources, but I do really appreciate these texts as they are a part of my personal library.

If that is the chemistry you're interested in, this is a good book to get you started. Buy it and read it.
