I purchased this book a few months ago and I have to say it is very well written with some excellent diagrams to help you learn the basics of flying training. It assumes no prior knowledge of flying and takes you totally from grass roots including theory of flight basics. The authors are clearly experts in their field and this is evident throughout the whole book. I was a little reluctant to buy this book in the first place as I already had some exprience of flying, however I was surprised to learn many new aspects of hands-on flying and theory of flight which I didn't know.
This series of books will probably teach you more than you would need to know for taking the PPL course, however they are great if you are wanting to go further than PLL. The style of writing does not include cheesy and irritating 'americanisms' or humour - it just gets straight to the point and teaches you exactly what you need to know. If you are looking for a humour and storytelling then don't buy this book. If you are looking for a very precise and well written text which covers exactly what you need to know then this is the book for you.

Whilst not mandatory, this book (this series of books) are frequently provided or highly recommended by flight schools in the U.K. as part of PPL courses. Even if you're not intending to learn to fly, but want to understand how and why a light aircraft behaves as it does, or even just know how to use a flight simulator more realistically, you won't go far wrong. I would recommend this along with Volume 4, 'The Aeroplane - Technical' as the minimum requirement for your library.
Note that they do assume a degree of intelligence on the part of the reader, however most people aiming to become a qualified pilot will have no problem whatsoever in understanding the material presented.

Like all the books in this series this book represents both excellent value for money and in my humble opinion an excellent guide to the initial stages of flying training. To some degree this is a difficult subject to capture in two dimemnsions on a page however with one or two exceptions I found the illustrations clear, concise and above all easy to understand. I believe this helps to build a mental picture of the processes involved which will compliment the actual training undertaken.
