Title: A good reference
Product review: As the authors state, this is a souped up version of Coddington and Levinson. I found the very formal style a bit daunting, and would have found it a bit heavy for a text- there is not a great deal of explanation or motivation of new topics- but it is certainly very compact, with a great number of useful examples and remarks, which include helpful references to the literature. It also includes a good bibliography. Thus I would say that it is definitely useful as a reference.
