Good logic book
This book was executed clearly and well. All the points were made directly. The author did not waste any time at all talking about un-needed material.

Examples also aided in understanding. Stories and word problems illustrated the concepts extremely well and the reader knew why the problem worked the way it did, which also helped to understand.

Questions (and answers provided in the back) gave a chance to test yourself to see what you knew and what you didn't. My only critisism would be in this aspect of the book in which I found some of the questions irrelevant such as: Find and discuss some clear and some possible examples of 'tonypandy.' I found that this had not relevance whatsoever to Logic or Philosophy in any way. It seemed as if Mary Haight just stuck the passage and question in the book so that it would be longer.

Overall, one of the best logic books I have seen.
