The CD included with the books was very helpful and I would recommend anyone using this book for a class to take advantage of the CD. It has little quizzes that can help you get an idea of what parts you know and can skip over and what parts you need to pay special attention to. Be careful, though, because I think at least one (that I found, maybe more) of the answers to the quiz questions on the CD is coded wrong, as I got it wrong on a quiz (or it's possible that the teacher was wrong, but I checked with her and she swore she wasn't).
The book was kind of (read: extremely) dry and very lengthy, so actually reading it was pretty grueling, but I have actually ended up using it a lot as a reference book, as there is a lot of useful information and it is well indexed. There is also a pretty decent glossary that I used as a quick reference for a lot of things.
