Good

The back of the book and the combined pages of the bottom of the book had what looked like tomato sauce on it. I was able to wipe it off the back, however there is nothing that can be done for the bottom. I purchased a new, not a used book. Other than that the book appears to be in good shape.

I read the first chapter first, and I looked over several chapters according to interest. The first chapter begins with the task of dealing with Fibonaccis, primes, and permutations. In the middle, there are various tasks such as handling strings. Solving several quizs is certainly not an exciting process, but I felt that these challenge really matters to me. It may not be suitable for people who want to do something in a short time. It seems to be the right book for those who want to improve their problem solving skills over time.
