Introduction to Computing Systems: From Bits & Gates to C/C++ & Beyond

I don't know if this is the official book or a knockoff, but the hole punches are drilled through the text, often cutting off a letter or more on each page. The page layout has a 1.625" margin on the outside edge, and 0.375" margin on the inside which should be at least 0.5" to accommodate the punch holes. There is plenty of space to move the content outward too.The pages themselves are 6.75" x 9.125" with a 4.25" between the 2 hole punches. This page size allows for the pages to fit in to a 3-ring binder, even though there are only 2 holes, but the bottom edge of the paper will be just above the lowest ring. It doesn't seem to drag against the bottom ring.

Happy with the book, but I got the international edition, which I did not expect. I bought this from the vendor FirstClassbooks.Are you even supposed to sell international edition within the US ?

I came back to edit my original review.Originally, I gave this book a critical review.Upon further reflection and use of the book, it actually deserves a slightly higher review.I will say that the book is definitely a good book to use but should be used in the context of a class, otherwise it may be hard to learn through self-study.

It's a fine book, but if you get the Kindle version, be aware that it's locked into black-text-on-white for the pages. The lack of a dark mode makes me want to claw my eyes out, but the information is fine.

Works fine on the Kindle app for android, but can't download on a Kindle paperwhite for some reason.

For nearly $200.00 I will not venture to use this as a textbook in my class. NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT IS. Yale, please talk to your publisher. Thanks.

Muy buen libro.
