One of the best.

The 2nd edition was printed during 1996 by Houghton Mifflin but remains one of the best review textbooks, especially for anyone who has been out of school or away from mathematics and basic algebra. There are many review textbooks but this uses an interactive approach with emphasis on problem-solving solutions. In laymen terms, it means each section is divided into objectives with matched-pair examples for every problem. The first example is solved and the second is not but a complete detailed solution is at the end of the book. Also, problem solving features clear, sequenced applications that emphasize proven strategies. Moreover, applications feature contemporary problems. The problems are clearly and simply presented. Each section features a diagnostic quiz, with solutions at book end. I particularly like this book more than others because the problems start with simple examples and progress to difficult. Also, all rules and other important information are highlighted in blue boxes. I think this book is better than Kaplan or Princeton Review algebra review books. Also, if you are going to enroll in Kaplan's SAT or GRE tutorial programs, I highly recommend you purchase and use this book before commencing Kaplan. Their programs are very good but they review Algebra 1, 2 and Geometry in just eight lessons. It is too much too quick unless you have a good foundation. Kaplan does not do a good job of teaching. Rather their forte is reviewing. Anyone, planning SAT, ACT, or GRE tests should buy this book especially since used editions are very inexpensive and can be found via fetchbook dot info.
