substitude for the current 9th edition. I saved a fortune by buying this older version of the current 9th ed. It's the same thing but just not updated a few less chapters. So far, it has served its purpose.
Great buy! Great price. I saved lots of money buying from Amazon. Very efficient delivery also.
Micro lab book I bought this book because it was required for my microbiology lab. I hated this class to begin with but by then end i LOVED IT! The book is so helpful and easy to learn from. I would reccommend it to anyone.
Microbiology Lab Manual This book arrived in excellent condition within the specified time. It was a brand new book and was exactly as advertised.
A good beginner's manual This book is very clear and straight-forward. If you read the text ahead of time, you will clearly understand the procedures and theoretical context for your lab class. It clearly is a beginner's manual, though, so it does not go terribly in depth into the molecular biochemistry of the experiments, which for many people will be a good thing, but not for those who want to learn everything about everything.
