The seller of the book was great...but as far as textbooks, I'm not thrilled with this one. But students don't have a choice when picking books for classes, so I guess it's moot anyway.

Good concepts
This book was bought for a class. The content is straightforward, however, my only negative comment is the fact that it has no answers in the back to the exercises in the back. That would have been very helpful.
It was a good textbook. I got this for a good price compared to the local bookstore at school. Had some minor highlighting only on one page and a bit folded at the edges but very useable.
Great buy.
It took around 1.5 weeks to get here but I'm not complaining as of the price.
Again, this was for a class, so I wouldn't need to buy this product again.

This book was shipped quickly, the condition was excellent, and it was a great bargain.

far from the best
As far as computer science books go... they can get pretty boring... but this one takes the cake... it's so dry and devoid of many helpful pictures or diagrams... I'm really not a fan of this book... but if it's required what are ya gunna do...
