This is a WONDERFUL book - as an intermediate player I don't get many of the solutions right, but there are some beautiful ideas here, with some very good teaching in the explanations.
True, it is fairly basic, but it's approachable, enjoyable, and the lessons are essential, if relatively common these days. I can't imagine what would be in preceding volume, as this one starts at as basic a level as anyone could pine for.
