The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology's art program enhances students' understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs. Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology. Review: Good - Good Review: Hard cover - I got the hard cover version and it comes in full color inside and out. Some versions of this book only come in volumes 1 and 2, but this one is both volumes in one book. The only down side is it took a few weeks to come in.

It's free on kindle
I got the free Kindle version, and the layout was fine, some books have a horrible kindle format when they make a book into a digital version. My school actually made this the required text for nursing school, which is nice, because we all now books can cost almost as much as tuition. I've never bought a single book from my campus bookstore, I always come to Amazon first and usually find the best deals here, and I love the rental if it's a book I don't need to keep for reference. This book was pretty easy to read, I feel like I have a good understanding of the field after using this book with my course. If you're interested, this book is also free as a PDF download on openstax.org, along with other textbooks.

Not hardback
Showed up a bit busted because there was no protection for the book in the box, but I also purchased a hardback version and was sent a softback version instead. It appears to have all the chapters listed (unlike some other reviews) and it is in color.

Mostly medical micro
I was looking for more of a classic general micro book but those seem to be out of style. This is mostly medical micro with a useful chapter on immunology. I bought the print version that is in black and white (not color!) but for the price you can't beat it if you want a paper book. Most chapters are clear and well written.

Excellent text, amazing price
Solidly bound textbook. Pages are a decent thickness and not insanely thin like other cheap textbooks. Useful for people who like a physical textbook and/or don’t feel like looking at a pdf for hours on end. Overall a decent textbook and useful for general reference.
