this. If you can to read it, from what I can tell it's an online
edition of 'Retroviruses' by Coffin, John M.; Hughes, Stephen H.;
Varmus, Harold E.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=3Drv
It looks like there's other books as well, although it looks like
different books allow different levels of how much you can read of
them, which kind of makes them commercials and not books-

Description
For over 25 years the study of retroviruses has underpinned much of
what is known about information transfer in cells and the genetic and
biochemical mechanisms that underlie cell growth and cancer induction.
Emergent diseases such as AIDS and adult T-cell lymphoma have widened
even further the community of investigators directly concerned with
retroviruses, a development that has highlighted the need for an
integrated understanding of their biology and their unique association
with host genomes. This remarkable volume satisfies that need. Written
by a group of the field's most distinguished investigators, rigorously
edited to provide a seamless narrative, and elegantly designed for
clarity and readability, this book is an instant classic that demands
attention from scientists and physicians studying retroviruses and the
disorders in which they play a role.

Reviews
"With the arrival of Retroviruses, a worthy successor to the 1985
classic has finally appeared. Despite its downsized title everything
about this volume, edited by John Coffin, Stephen Hughes, and Harold
Varmus, is top notch. Especially noteworthy are the many superb
illustrations, which include color diagrams of protein structures,
molecular mechanisms, and other aspects of retroviruses and their
effects."
=97Science
"New testament on retroviruses=85. This is a serious reference book to
be cherished by specialist and novice alike=85. My copy disappeared from
my office the day it arrived. Better order two copies at once."
=97Nature
"Retroviruses is an outstanding reference book for clinicians and
medical students who want to deepen their understanding of
retrovirology, and it is a definite must for basic scientists working
the field."
=97NEJM
"This book renders the detail, complexity and wonder of retroviruses
accessible. It will be read, appreciated and enjoyed by students,
researchers and physicians. I found it hard to put
down."
=97Nature Medicine
"=85the book satisfies the needs of a very wide scientific audience,
serving as an invaluable reference book for even the most fanatical
afficianado; as a complete textbook for teachers and students of
retrovirology; and as a user-friendly entr=E9 into this field for the
naive reader. Simply put, Retroviruses has set a new benchmark against
which all future virology textbooks will be judged."
