This is an EXCELLENT book!

I am a COBOL teacher at a small, private college, and I am also a COBOL programmer at a large steel mill. For my class, I used this book. It's index and glossary were excellent, although you had to know exactly what you were looking for. The content itself was delightfully vague, so my students asked me many questions, and I was able to make fun of those questions. It is a mystery to me why they did not like this book, after all, I am a COBOL programmer, and I understood it just fine. For all you teachers out there, I hope you will make your students use this book.

I thought it was very informative and user friendly.

It does a good job of introducing students to COBOL. Its examples are very understandable and its format is logical.
