If you struggle with basic algebra, this is the book for you. It spells out EVERY step, unlike most other books that do several steps at once, and assume that you follow all the steps that are not shown. It shows you each step separately which is nice. If you find maths easy this will irritate you, but if you struggle it really does help. There are lots of examples and lots of practice questions, and I like the fact that there is plenty of room on the page to write your answers and workings. Highly recommended.
