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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good beginner's manual, March 10, 2006

This review is from: Microbiology: A Laboratory Manual (7th Edition) (Paperback)

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.
