3/5

I know it's difficult to get excited about a standard college algebra/trigonometry textbook, but this was a comprehensive and well-laid out instruction (as distinguished from the Pearson 'Statistics' textbook I had the displeasure of limping through). I'd give it a five-star rating, but I think three stars is the five-star equivalent for a textbook, and maybe the best this category can expect to warrant.

There's no review [to me, anyway] of a Math book. However, it was good, all things considered.
