Eh, IMO, these two books are not quite the same: the Maniatis is sadly out
of date, even when the basic protocols are concerned, and the Red Book
get updates  every quarter of a year ( although certain sections tend to get
frozen as well). For new stuff,  check  Nucleic Acid Research (now available
on CD for easy search), Biotechniques, and recent "Tech Tips on-line"
(http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/tto).  However, the best protocol is still
the one that
works.
