I bought this on the strength of the description. Its not very deep, but has a broad viewpoint. If you wish for the clearest production of the basic principles or methods alligned to algebra, to allow easier progression to harder topics-abstract algebra- it would be hard to beat.

Its so easy to digest, and printed on high quality paper, so it will last for years on a shelf.

It is expensive, i realise this. If you comfortable with topics in algebra, thats fine. But if your memory just need a bit of revision, its a good book.
