5.0 out of 5 stars good book
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2010

The book is not that hard to understand, it's written a way for people who are not major in medical field can understand. My professors are two authors of the book (student @ UW), the book & lecture together should be very easy to understand compare with other books that i have read. Plus, not everyone are going to microbiology field so there is no expectation that the book supposes to tell you everythng about microbiology. Plus, a good book is a book that everyone can understand.

The book arrived two days earlier than expected,which was awsome because I was really cutting it close when the EDD was the day I actually neeeded it. The book was new just like I order. Didnt look like it was ever opened. The only thing Ican say was wrong with it is that it had weird sticky stuff all over it. Once I washed it off it was fine.

Publication was in FAR better condition than the seller described, and the lowest price we have ever paid for a textbook. We are impressed to say the least and will return again to this seller for sure! Only skimmed the text, but it seems very complete and has a wonderful and useful index, and glossary as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars book will do
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2014

The book has some confusion as far as the chapters don't match up with the ones being taught in class so I end up having to search around the book for them. It is the older edition than the one being used in class though. I just don't like microbiology period! It will suffice until the end of the course.

4.0 out of 5 stars Didn't use it much, but it was written well

I ended up not needing this textbook much, my teacher's tests were based on the vocabulary which I found on the internet, and the sideshows which I downloaded and studided separately. However, this book was still a valuable backup when I needed it.

Our teacher let us slide using the older editions of this textbook and i am glad because the new editions are extremely expensive. I received it in great, used condition. No marks or writing in the pages and was all i needed to help me with this course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understandable Text
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2009

A lot of times a text book is too wordy for someone to read and understand. I'm taking my microbiology course online and it was very crucial that I actually know what the book was talking about. This has been a relatively easy (as text books go) book to understand.
