Title: Too much buck for too little bang!
Product review: This book covers the bare minimum for an upper-division course on classical mechanics. It's not much different from other standard texts at this level, however for its price it should come with a personal tutor and a complimentary spa treatment. My biggest beef with this book is that for more than twice the cost (about 3x's if you go by the original price tag of $232.95) of a book like Taylor's it covers almost half as many topics (however I concede that the binding is quite poor on Taylor's book). Its sad that this text stops at Langrangian mechanics and doesn't even offer even a section in that chapter (let alone a separate chapter) on Hamiltonian mechanics.
