Pros
I love this book for the same reason some people probably hate it, it's strong theoretical approach. The author is humorous. It is really quite enjoying reading this book. The publishing material of the book is solid.
The current 4th edition of linear algebra and its applications has been updated relative to the 3rd edition (1991) it's easy to follow the logical flow in those texts, and that can sometimes be reassuring. My only complaint is why is this not on kindl... Read More

The tone throughout this book is strictly informal. The exposition in each section feels incomplete.

No no if you want to just refresh some concepts because it's too expensive.
Competitiveness
Note: the 3rd edition has pretty much the same material for a lower price.
