There's really very little to recommend this book. About two hundred better texts exist on this topic, some of them with almost indistinguishable titles. I give it a second star only because the bold black spine looks striking among the largely-garish bottom-feeders of my "uninspiring computer science" shelves, here taking a page from Grading the Flags.
