I loved learning trig from this book, back in 1967.
I really learned it, it stuck with me forever, and learning it was more like a game because of the self-teaching approach used in this book. I have never, in 50 years, forgotten any of the basics of right angle trigonometry, a basic skill that has proven necessary in multiple science and engineering work.
