This was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a book with coding and math that were both accurate yet not too complicated. It is a huge bonus that the book is so old, because it ends up being no frills as the super high graphic games, reality mimicking physics, et cetera, were not yet around.

I started trying to read this book again I had to put it down it was so bad. I don't understand how it can be so devoid of real content.
