I have the hard-cover version, but it wasn't available at goodreads or amazon. It is a good concept, the editing and proofreading are inadequate: errors from previous editions still exist in the newest (8th). Some of the chapters are much too difficult (assume more familiarity and comfort with mathematical thinking) for a person whose last actual mathematics class was 20 years ago...

This is the worst math book I've ever used. Even my last teacher is contemlating not using it ever again.

I found things were explained well, but there are quite a few mistakes...not good!
