Query: A FEW strengths, but mostly weak coverage of the subject.

You know, I think the Calculus Reformers mean well, but they seem to be lost in mathematics dreamland, where everyone has time to read and absorb uninteresting abstractions.To be fair,the authors have good explainations on certain things, like bounds and continuity, unfortunately that was in the appendix, where they had the good sense for once to be brief! No, buy yourself a real calculus textbook, like the one by George F. Simmons, who will teach you what is really going on, providing examples and problems that are designed to teach, without being abominably boring like this book.
