Review title: Not what I would call an Introduction.
Product review: This does not appear to be a true "introductory" text. I would not recommend it as a first text on time series.A good bit of the text is spent walking through derivations of formulae, and many of the exercises do not use actual data, but are directions such as "Derive the recursions for the Burg estimates..." or "Derive a cubic equation for the maximum likelhood estimates of..." There is too little information on how to proceed in analyzing actual data.The book is not well-organized, but appears to have been thrown together hurriedly, and lacks any connecting flow. Coverage of topics is more brief as you get to the later chapters, which is another indication of rushing something into print.
