Honestly... I wouldn't recommend this as an introduction to phonology. It's got difficult writing, doesn't explain key concepts clearly, and most of the exercises do not have answers, so you can't really check whether you understand the key concepts or not. In short, it doesn't do the subject of phonology justice.
