Great!

Book was just as seller described. Shipping was standard. Will buy from seller again.

excellent textbook

I felt I had to answer the 2 irresponsible reviews above. This is an excellent introduction to critical thinking. It is thoughtful clear, and enjoyable to read. Each chapter contains puzzle-like, challenging exercises which reinforce the lessons. It is easy to improve your thinking skills by reading this book and working through the exercises.

Comprehensive yet readable

I have collected a library of books on critical thinking, but this is by far the best. It is comprehensive and intellectually honest, yet very readable. I bought it, started looking through it, and wound up reading it completely in that one sitting. It's rare to find such a scholarly book so compelling!
