5.0 out of 5 stars useful textbook, March 21, 2005

By 

D. Miller - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microbiology (Hardcover)

I found the text a must-buy for my microbiology class. Without it I would have been lost. The parasites, viruses and bacteria were described with utmost clarity. Microbiology Study Guide by Patrick Leonardi had great test questions to study from. I also used Microbiology Made Ridciously Simple as a reference.

This review is from: Microbiology (Hardcover)

This book contains outstanding descriptions and illustrations. Because of the price of the latest edition, I bought the previous edition for the class. There was sufficiently little difference between the two consecutive editions that I was able to easily keep up in class and made a high 'A'.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Microbiology (Hardcover)

The product arrived on time and in perfect condition. I was thrilled that is until I got a phone call from my bank putting a hold on my account for suspicious charges. This was my first time to use my debit card online with an international company and all of a sudden I was having international charges. They charged a hotel rooom at trumph towers and 2 hotel rooms in Aruba. Maybe this was just a coincidence but I doubt it. Be extremely careful when buying books online for so cheap. I was so excited when I found out I could buy this $200 book onlline for $0.01 but maybe they only wanted a penny because they were just gonna make other charges without my consent!!!!! I will not do business with this company ever again!
