What used to annoy me back in the day when I was at University was that they'd alternate between these two biochem textbooks even though the two would invariably teach you exactly the same thing. It was a total scam as far as I could tell. One might be more "cool" than the other because they had stereoscopic (sp?? i.e. 3D) pictures so you could see the structure of DNA in 3 dimensions. Ooooh! But really, you could have used either textbook and done just fine. I realized this after the fact and I have THREE biochem textbooks that cost about $80 each and there's very little to distinguish them. Ugh.
