Those are journals, right? Anyone knows a good, in-depth, canonical, non-obsolete introductory text for all of these? Something like Spivak but for Biotechnology? Something structured and consolidated that can be read linearly during some months...

No, they're the gold standard university textbooks in molecular biology. They are very useful encyclopedic references that happen to be marketed as entry level texts

Oh come on! Undergrads typically go through each one of those in a year, they're entry level because they walk you through every bit of introductory details, then rapidly move you to what was state of the art 10 years ago, with tons of citations.
I do also use them as references, but they're wholly approachable by a person who has a year to spend learning a deep topic.

Oh, I googled them quickly but misread the results. Thanks for the correction.
But I guess, if you consider them more encyclopedic than entry level, that my question still stands. Do you have any particular recommendation? You seem to be familiar with the field!
Sort of. Please read Molecular Biology of the Cell, Molecular Biology of the Gene, and Biochemistry. It's explained in detail (what people have observed). TL;DR: yeah, machinery in the cell binds to plasmids. No, it's not random- it's a highly biased process.
