Its a pretty good book. I had to use a custom publication of that book for my "Intro to Java I" course. It was a decent textbook, touched on a lot of things I believe the farthest it went was simple OOP and some GUIs. Few of my class mates who didn't know Java found this book very useful.

Price seems a bit much for this book though, I bought mine which cut out 4 chapters, brand new from my bookstore(Which is overpriced) for $45. And I resold it for $10 lol.
