It helps you to pass your ISTQB Foundation level exam, but otherwise not so great book. I can't say I liked it.

Rubbish. Complete waste of money. I ended up with a copy of the syllabus and wikipedia - only then could i figure out some of the points. At the beginning of each chapter it gives a few words which you need to have an understanding of - but guess what, it doesn't give you a definition of them. Might as well save yourself the price of the book and just look at the syllabus and Wikipedia. All in all, it was a bit rubbish.

I have an emotional attachment to this book as it was pretty much my first real introduction to software testing as a craft

I bought this to get a more general, theoretical or technical background in software testing. I didn't realize when I did so that it was the prep book for a British certification exam. I stumbled over "organisation" and such but really did learn a fair bit. I will likely refer to this to update our in-house testing wiki and it will definitely find a permanent place on my technical book shelf.

This is the best book I found on ISTQB ISEB Foundation Certification. I recommended it to all my friends who wanted to pass the examination and all of them have the same opinion - it is a worth investment.

This book can't help you pass ISTQB exam alone
Solve as much as you can
Focus on ch 4 & 5
