Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Sompayrac book is a very, very basic book. It likens part of the immune system to a hotdog in a bun.Can't get any more basic than this book. It's very good. The author, a man, passed away a few years ago, but the book is still quite timely. I bought it and refer to it on occasion.1.5. Re: question Posted by: "Ellen" rhudy@... esractellen Sat Oct 2, 2010 2:49 pm (PDT) I looked up the book on amazon.com. I was set to buy it, but then I came across the book "Immunology Made Ridiculously Simple." So I ordered that one first, to solidify the basic principles.. ......... ....I know some stuff already, but would like more basic knowledge before I buy the book you recommended.
