Cover all aspects of essential computer science in great detail. Not just useful for GCSE study, but also for general knowledge purposes, and as a primer for higher-level study, which is what I am using it for; currently doing a BSc Hons in cybersecurity.
This book is one of the better textbooks on computer science as it explains everything in a 'fairly straightforward way', especially the principles of programming.
