Now on version 9 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genes-IX-Benjamin-Lewin/dp/0763752223 Introduction to Genetic Analysis by Griffis et al. Now on version 9 too. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Introduction-Genetic-Analysis-Anthony-Griffiths/dp/0716799022/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251802245&sr=1-1 Molecular Cell Biology by Lodish. Sixth edition is most current. This is more for general molecular biology, but a good resource if you don't have a wider biochemistry background. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Molecular-Cell-Biology-Harvey-Lodish/dp/1429203145/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c Older editions are okay, but if possible get the latest ones. The topic does move forward at quite a rate, and things like snRNA's were not heard of a few editions ago. Full genome sequencing and comparison was also not possible till recent years, so may not be in them. Those are all pretty heavy (literally and metaphorically) books. I find the "Instant Notes" series good for 'lighter' reading. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Instant-Notes-Genetics/dp/041537619X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251802384&sr=1-1 Plus Dawkins early books are good to understand the power of genetics & evolution.
