A readable, comprehensive, and all-encompassing introduction to philosophy and its branches. I'm familiar with textbooks as daunting, impossible-to-understand jargon but that one textbook was not only informative but also amusing, the only textbook that I would hang on to and read from when I need a refresher on philosophy.
