Pretty good introduction

This book was the required text for a freshman college level class that I took on logic and reasoning. I found it to be a pretty good introduction, but I also thought the book was a bit thin in certain areas. This book is best as an introduction for people who have little or no familiarity with deductive and inductive logic, logical fallacies, truth trees etc. For those looking for more depth, I would recommend the book "Introduction to Logic" by Copi and Cohen.
