I ordered a basic micro-coloring book by Alcamo/Elson for supplement help, it goes over bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and multi-cellular parasites. It descibes their basic structure, physiology, biochemistry, cultivation and pathology of microbial disease and the mechanisms of non specific and immune resistance exhibited by the body.
I ordered from http://www.amazon.com . There are a lot of micro text to choose from, and many come with study guides and CD roms.
Microbiology: Principals and Explorations by Black is a pretty good book. Very simple to follow - I used it for my micro class, but I've already sold it. I liked it much better than my A&P book which was Hole's Human Anatomy and Physiology. Ugghhh....that book was torture - had HUGE holes that you were just expected to fill in the blanks and contradicted itself. It was a bad book.
Good luck with Micro.

I am self-teaching microbiology and need something to study from! Please let me know if you have something basic, and well written to recommend.
If someone wants to sell me something, I would probably buy it!
