The 2-day shipping was not working by Great lady (Tennessee)  3 Stars
February 15, 2009
The textbook I ordered was in stock and supposed to be delivered within 2 days because I signed up for the promotional trial for Amazon prime. I placed the order on 01/14/09 for my son in College and he counted on it to study for his assignment that week-end. I checked on its status and found that my order has never been worked on until the week after... So my son had to find a friend to lend him the book to study. The 2-day shipping option was not effective on this order.

Just in time for class by M. McBeth 4 Stars
September 19, 2008
Arrived very quickly, in time for the start of my class. The website that goes with the textbook is a great addition, the live animations really help to clarify the mechanisms explained in the book.

35 years full circle fantastic true by R. Mckissick (Fallbrook, CA United States) 5 Stars
May 29, 2008
While in High School I took the class Mol. Bio. Gene from Dr. Watsons book at George Washington U., having taken orga. &inorganic&biochem at the community college after basic chem (my HS was colocated with the comm col. in Rockville MD). Paid $14.65 for mine, a f...king fortune then. I was working for Dr. Gallo (CDC) at NIH as a summer intern, riding my bike there. (Hey it's all about ME) So... I barely passed the class...it was tough. The book is still alive and kicking, and here I am back using it to understand/design a water treatment system for a small San Diego commun(ity). I thought the old man Watson died? UCSD has a center named for him.
So amazingly, for most things that are true, test of time. This book is amazing in clearly explaining the genetic processes involved. Back then (1972) I spent a lot of time slogging through the biochem then my org. chem text book (at 16). I was building the models to understand what the hell Watson was talking about in bonding, recumbinant replication , etc. Since my NIH job involved collectiing data from experiments designed by doctors working for Dr. Gallo bent on discovering a viral gene attack (read AIDS) I was able to seriously confuse and annoy the doctors/phds by my incessant half informed questions, and screwups (has any of that changed?)
Buy it! Use it! many lab processes have changed, but the book is seminal, with original idiots like me having become like the Olive Tree (if only I could have been in the Garden...), from that seed. May you provide some salvation to the future minions of the earth which will rage battle over pure water, help create partial salvation from his tome. The concepts form the rock foundation of life and salvation for the human race. God bless you.
