Nice book for introductory level, but way too verbose. Stuff like this was driving me crazy: "Using multimedia within an Android program brings personality and imagery to your app. Images are a powerful marketing tool and add visual appeal to any Android application, but it is essential to create a clean, professional effect with those images."
