This book is written to be a university level text book on logic. It has the best treatment I've seen yet of the subject of definitions, and the only treatment I've seen on different interpretations of Existential Import and its effect on the square of opposition.

In general though, I find the book marred by typos, and not terribly well written. Except for the sections on definition and existential import it has nothing that Copi or Gensler don't cover more clearly.
