Format:Paperback
In my opinion this is an excellent first/second year undergraduate text. It is clear and concise, meaning you don't need to read through paragraphs and paragraphs to get to the point. It makes good use of diagrams which help elucidate the idea, and the mathematics used is appropriate - far too often other texts make automatic use of lagrangians when other simpler methods are equally valid. I've also used Microeconomics by Perloff and Microeconomics An Intuitive Approach with Calculus by Nechyba, and both were far too descriptive and either made no use of mathematics (Perloff) or relied too heavily on lagrangians (Nechyba). There is no other text for first/second years that is as ideal.

I've just recently got this book and still have a little bit more exploring to do, but so far it's helped me a lot understanding the mechanics behind the formulas. There could be more graphics illustrating the examples and the examples used to explain the topics could be more varied (so far I've only seen examples with the same type of 'business' - a farmer)to make studying from this book more pleasurable, but apart from that is really good!

The book is all rights. It is written in a quite clear and accessible way, and English is not my first language.
It is a shame that it does not develop the mathematical side of microeconomics a bit more, and especially that it does not include any numerical example. All the maths included are abstract with no numbers, only a, b, c, alpha, beta and gamma. People like me need to see all that in use and numerical examples are important to make me understand how it works and how it is used. Other books have those examples and they are as clear and accessible as this one, like jeffrey Perloff or Walter Nicholson. Alternatively get a book on mathematical economics or microeconomics to complement.
