Is saving BioChem text helpful?

For those already in vet school, have you ever found your old BioChem text helpful, or would you recommend selling it?

My undergrad biochem course didn't have a required textbook so I didn't have anything to look back on. With that said, I heard some people in my class say that they used their undergrad book and/or wished they had kept theirs. If you used it and thought it was helpful this time around, I'd say keep it. If you never used it or didn't like it, get rid of it.

I loved that Lehninger text (5th ed)! we spent a beautiful year together <sigh>. :😛

Hey, we used Lehninger in my undergrad biochem class, too!

We have a biochem book listed on our required books list, but it's part of the Physiology course and not a real big reference, so I'm just using my undergrad.

So in a word: yes. I'd hold on to it. Might save you money down the road.


And we used Voet & Voet. I guess I didn't get to have this love affair with Leninger 🙁

Is Lehniger the blue one with the pretty metallic atom on the front?

We had to buy the new edition for my yearlong biochem series:

I like the cover for the previous edition better!

I kept mine. I like it. 🙂

TT, are you maybe thinking of the Berg book? That's the one I have...

(there is a newer edition, but amazon didn't have a picture of the cover)

Yeee-e-e-es, that looks familiar. I'd be able to say 100% but I lent the book to a friend to use this semester and don't have it back on account of him failing the class and needing to take it again this fall. 🙄

I have Berg too, looks like I'll be buying Lehniger this summer. The good thing is my bf saved his huge Lehniger study guide that went along with it!

Penn has a 10 credit biochem course first semester that used the same biochem book I had from the class I took previously (Leninger), so it did help 🙂

Aw, I just sold my Lehninger textbook & study guide last semester!
