I am using this book in conjunction with another and this one is much easier to understand. It clearly outlines what the cells functions are and is well written. It was written in a more logical order so you are able to see the big picture before learning all the small details which helps me in learning quite a bit.

The Coico Immunology book is what I am currently using as my (required) textbook for medical school Immuno course. It is a GREAT text, especially this new edition. Fabulous color pictures (I am all about the pics!) and easy to read text. Plus, it's not a huge volume, so everything is summed up comprehensively but succintly (leaving nothing out, without being a tome). Highly recommended textbook.

Some of the pictures are a little lame but it does a good job of laying things out.

I love this book! I'm a 4th year medical student and I have 3 other texts on immunology and this is the one that I keep going back to. I loaned it to a friend and it burned in a fire so here I am ordering it again. The text is simple and to the point. The diagrams are suitable and I found them detailed enough. This is my bedtime reading book.
