A great and easy to understand book, covering all the needed topics for ISTQB Foundation level certificate exam. It could be read by a nearly new-to-the-topic person and still be the only source of learning for the certificate. Every chapter has exam questions' samples, and a full mock exam at the end.

The best piece of ressource on ISTQB I had in hand. In English but way better than the syllabus and a French book I own. Unlike that other book this one takes the time to explain things in pretty simple language.

Well-described guide for manual testing - only using this book I got 82% on the exam (if your country has live courses, that would probably be better, you get what you pay for).
