Gorgeous book full of molecular biology for the lay person, written by the co-discoverer of tRNA. Very nice book! I plan on reading it to the kids. :)

There is a more recent version, but for some reason I couldn't find it on here (or using the amazon search), even though I did order to from Amazon.
