Customer Reviews

The best Immunology text
This is by far the best immunology textbook I've used. The chapters are arranged logically and build sensibly from basic to more in-depth knowledge. A good reference book for any student studying/working in the field. If you can only afford one immunology text than I'd recommend this one.

I passed a degree module using this book
This book is written very clearly and to the point. It cuts out all the material that you don't need to know and cuts directly to the chase. I liked it because there are lots of colourful and simple diagrams that coincide with the text. You can tell that this book is well researched and is an excellent buy.

I got a first in immunology because of this book
This is by far the best immunology textbook. In my experience other immunology authors randomly start talking about something that they don't cover until later on/previously in the book so you literally have to read the whole book just to understand one bit. Goldsby isn't like that at all. You can just read one chapter to understand one aspect making this book really efficient, great when you're a week away from the exam. I'm a biochemistry student and as I've said above I got a first in my second year immunology module because of this book. Buy other books at your peril!
