    I hated micro, and the lab too. We had our teacher recommended text, I don't remember which it was though. Depends on your professor. I had "Microbiology : Principles and Explorations" by Black, along with my text. That book is good as a supplemental guide, but I would not recommend it as your only book. It just reinforces some of the main concepts that you will probably be learning. I checked and you can get it used on amazon for around $50. Good luck...
