Hm, what level, how broad, how current/often?
Basic upper division textbooks, such as Lodish or Alberts. The latter
has a new edition this spring.
Specialized tomes, such as "Escherichia coli" by Neidhardt et al.
Contains "everything" (3000 pages -- tho now sold only on CD). But of
course much gets outdated. Latest edition is '96, I think.
Review books, such as the Annual Reviews of ... series. Quality is
high, as far as they go.
Current reviews, in journals such as the Trends in ... series.
Explore, see what fits your needs. Maybe ask your profs and some older
students what they do, for some ideas. But people will do it
differently.
