4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Easy to read
It's very good textbook, easy to read and understand. I'm waiting for the new and up-to-date edition from the author, if possible.

2.0 out of 5 stars Klaus must update or perish
Just a quick note: Dr. Elgert's text is 10 years old.. 10! That's before the human genome came out, and what's more, the book is hopelessly outdated on a number of points. First of all, a lot of good science has been put out in the 10 years since its publication. Second, his illustrations look like their were made in MSPaint (and they very well may have been)...

2.0 out of 5 stars Klaus must update or perish, March 12, 2006
This review is from: Immunology: Understanding The Immune System (Hardcover)
Just a quick note: Dr. Elgert's text is 10 years old.. 10! That's before the human genome came out, and what's more, the book is hopelessly outdated on a number of points. First of all, a lot of good science has been put out in the 10 years since its publication. Second, his illustrations look like their were made in MSPaint (and they very well may have been). Moreover, he reprinted his old edition at some point, but in black and white, and on rough, heavier paper. Buyer beware - the cover is identical.



LUCKILY.. if you don't go to Virginia Tech, I'm sure you're not in danger of exposure to this opaque anachronism of a textbook...

3.0 out of 5 stars BUYER BEWARE!!, May 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Immunology: Understanding The Immune System (Hardcover)
I purchased this book a few months ago for the course I am taking. The book is well written and provides a wealth of information.
HOWEVER, BEWARE!! This book does NOT come with ANY type of internet or computer support of ANY kind!!! There is no CD with the book, no supporting website, etc. So if you have even the simplest of questions that you would rather not bother your professor with (or have at 2 am when you seem to be alone), there is nothing to help you with this.
Like I said, the book is wonderful but the Author and/or publishing company needs to get with the 21st Century as well as with "Today's Student".
