I love this textbook, it is clearly written and it has both intermediate and advanced material broken

down into various chapters. I used it for advanced microbiology Fall of 2016 and the previous edition

for the introductory course three years ago. It has a great retrovirus section, bacteriology, up-to-date

material, excellent depictions and the online material is many times better than its predecessor. I

highly recommend buying this book new, it's worth every penny for undergraduate, graduate or

medical school. It even helped for MCAT studies. The diagrams are excellent and it's very easily to

read 25-30 pages without difficulty or prior microbiology knowledge, but later on it does get into

advanced subjects and goes into more detail. However it eases you in, instead of just throwing you

into the deep water so to speak. Excellent read!

Good price and fast shipping

This was a required textbook. I am happy I will be able to use it multiple semesters. it arrived

quickly, and was just as described.
