N2  - Great book for class. Was a required text but was simple and easy to read. The set came with a textbook, mastering microbiology online package that comes with subscription to the homework and an e-text, and two magazines about microbiology. I would have opted for a cheaper version if my professor hadn't requested this one. The irony is, the professor that specifically wanted this version actually dropped out from teaching the class due to health reasons last minute and this specific package became excessive. However, I had bought this package three months in advance to the summer class I was taking (back in March). Therefore, the extra two magazines added in with this package became unnecessary. Check with your professor before you purchase this set if you want to save money. ( Some student in class just purchased the mastering microbiology set that came with e-text and homework access. This is most likely the cheapest option.)
