molecular biology textbooks

Can anybody recommend a textbook that is a good reference for techniques used in the lab, i know everything is available on the web but i'm still a bit old school and prefer to look over a book.

That depends on what, precisely, you mean by "Molecualr Biology". If you
just mean "gene fiddeling" tha Maniatis is probably still your best bet.
If you mean "Biology on a molecular level", than no, there is no single
book covering the techniques. Even the "Methods in Molecular Biology"
series only covers part of it.

There is a series of cookbooks called "Current Protocols" that seems
to be very popular and covers a lot of ground. Problem is, it's mostly
it, protocols and hardly ever includes background and caveats.
