The basics & then some

So this book doesn't cover every possible term. Perhaps the words "complete" and "comprehensive" are misleading. It may also need an updating (1991 publication). It does, however, cover all the major terms as well as many lesser known ones. More importantly, this book does a very good job of explaining and illustrating the terms, including differentiating between some often confused terms. Easy to read, relatively easy to comprehend; uses good examples. A nice effort. I have found it very useful.
