Very Helpful
I am currently in Microbiology and this book is very helpful with its layout. I am a visual learner and this book has exceeded my expectations so far. The only complaint/comment I have is that the pictures are very small and compact therefore making it hard to color with anything other than colored pencils. I would have liked crayon as they have better colors but beggers can't be choosers. Great book overall!!!

Paper is too thin, colors bleed through, otherwise it is terrific
I took microbiology and anatomy at the same time. I used coloring books in both classes and they were a big help. The only complaint I have about the microbiology book is that the paper is thin, lighter than the paper stock used in the anatomy coloring book. I placed a paper between the pages so the markers didn't bleed onto the next plate, but you could see the colors through the page and sometimes it was distracting trying to read the information on the page. I tried coloring with pencils and it worked out fine, it just takes longer to use pencils as opposed to markers.

I highly recommend the book if you are a visual and tactile learner.

The best thing about coloring books is that they are a form of entertainment while being a tool for learning. That is my experience with this book. Enjoyable, thorough, and money well spent
