Great book for the Neurospora community

This is the book for an introduction to the biology, genetics and molecular biology of Neurospora crassa. I find the techniques section particularly useful because it gives a good background for someone with little expierence and the extensive references lead you to more specific information when you require it. Moreover the book serves as an excellent review of the Neurospora literature and again is a useful starting point for those new to the field.
