I was very favorably impressed by this textbook. It is well written and well organized, and even though it is has more than 800 pages, very little space is wasted. This is the type of textbook that I can really learn from quickly, and I hope I find more that are this good for other subjects. this is a very good choice which I strongly recommend!
