Title: Not worth the expense.
Product review: Programming books have two uses: to teach you and as a reference. This book does an adequate job of teaching, but I'd say that "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" does better, and you can just look at it on the website. The index is lousy, which makes it hard to find things, and it doesn't cover enough material to make it useful. I wish I'd just bought two copies of Python in a Nutshell instead.
