Kuby Immunology is the first and only true textbook written by professors who teach the undergraduate course. It presents the most current concepts in an experimental context with clinical advances highlighted in boxes, supported by the kind of helpful pedagogical tools that other books do not provide.

Format:Paperback
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.

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!

It's not very often that one finds a science textbook, let alone and immunology one, that it is possible to sit down and read, chapter by chapter as one would with fiction. Kuby's Immunology is an obvious exception. The book is divided very logically into chapters which cover (more or less) one topic at a time; allowing you to read about one subject in one sitting, without having to check back in 7 other parts of the book or going off on a tangent.
The diagrams contain no more information than they need to and support the text very well. You can revise from the book quite easily using the diagrams alone as a guideline. The colourscheme of the book keeps things simple, but does make things look a bit dull at times but then that's immunology for you.
The downside? Not enough journal references!
