Great thanks! I think my friend studying biochem may have this to lend. He didn't seem entirely sure that it was the best out there though, would you disagree?

It's the standard intro text and it's good enough.

I don't know that it stands head and shoulders above comparable texts, but it does what it sets out to do.

I believe it comes with a study guide which can be useful for self-study.

If the cost of a book is unappetizing, MIT's Intro to Biology on edx is great and free.
