This is a good book to read, but i will not suggest this book for beginners because it does not have simple words to understand as that there will be in our Indian authors books. So it is difficult to understand for beginners especially for the people who do not have a strong command on english.

This is one of those books which took me longer than anticipated to actually pick up from my own shelf one again to read. But once I did, I certainly was not disappointed by the content in it.
The product was neat and clean. I was glad that there were no damages to it.
