OK, but . . .
The book, upon first inspection, looks like it will statisfy the need for worked-out trigonometry problems. You then realize that only every fourth problem is worked out, which, as it works out, misses many of the ones where one needs a solutions manual--those that are both difficult and not easily understood from the textbook (and sometimes challenge the teacher as well). The book's layout poorly uses space, leaving you with a feeling that there's more blank paper than substance.

A step at a time
Well laid out book, taking you a step at a time through trigonometry. Frequent reviews of material from previous chapters enables you to stay in touch with the full subject so you can be ready for the cumulative final. Author does a good job of trying to find real world examples, which is not easy.

A little too late
Pretty easy to follow at some points but suddenly the books throws things at you and expects you to "discover" how to solve it. The answer and the easiest way to approach the answer shows up in the next or following sections/chapters. I shouldn't be wasting my time trying to discover something that was discovered centuries ago. Had I not taken a self-paced course, I probably would not have been dissapointed by the book. The instructor would have helped. Also, some references for the HP calc. would have been nice.
