I teach Computing at GCE AS/A Level and regularly like to review what books we are using as our course text.
The theoretical concepts of this book cannot be faulted, it's just that the layout is so uninspired and unattractive. I have previous versions and some chapter are almost word for word exact.
Many of the screen shots used to illustrate GUIs show the GEM OS! This is hardly up to date considering the number of systems that could have been used. Also many of the (black and white) photos are strictly 1970 and 1980s.
If you want a book that covers the new GCE specifications, then go for Bradley.

Although it is not to up-to-date as it implies, this is very good book for descriptions and explanations for those who find other text books in this area too complicated.
I found it very useful as a supplementary book which I came back to again and again.
Format:Paperback
This book is full of facts, it is useful, as a supplementary text book. It is legendary in it's covering of stuff like floating point form, and other binary arithmetic such as BCD(Binary coded decimal) arithmetic. You certainly cannot use this book alone though, as it doesn't cover a syllabus like A level, it's too general for that. If you want lists of things, then it's good, it's very definitive that way. It has diagrams too.
BUT BEWARE, on one page there is a mistake where it puts the MBR in main memory and doesn't mention that the MBR and MDR are the same thing. (I am talking about registers in the processor) But otherwise it's fairly authoritative.
Listmania!
