Query: Compared to what is available this is not a very good book

This is a book for the absolute beginner who has not learned any strategy yet. This book covers one thing only, "simple checkmates".An entire simple checkmate takes up an entire page. The book also avoids any use of chess notation that is important to go on to learn from more advanced books that are needed to progress. It is not as much as this book is so bad. It is that there are books that cover checkmates, tactics and traps that are so much better now available. Tactics and traps are also important for the beginner to know, not just checkmates. If you really want a book just on checkmates alone then look at "Art of Checkmate" or "How to Beat your Dad at Chess". They are examples of two much better books.
