incomplete hodgepodge
Too many times the author claims `so we have proved that ... ' when in facthe has merely stated the result in a different language. This leaves the readerdesiring a full explanation completely on his own to hunt down supplementaryreferences.The second big drawback here is the lack of solutions to the many problemsat the end of sections. Again, no hints or suggestions of where to look formore are given.Finally, was the editor out to lunch when this was printed? It could easily havebeen made into a more polished work with a little effort .been made into a more finished and professional work .

Very good book but ...
First of all: this is a very good book on classical Mechanics. Written with honesty. The author doesn't hide those parts that are not clear and he thinks aloud about them, so you can follow his reasoning: specially good in this sense is the chapter 8. There are good examples explained on all concepts through the whole book.In short this is one of the best book to learn mechanics. I wish one day all the books on physics and maths may be like this one.But ... it has a ridiculous little dimension (in size). This implies that the letter be small, with a tiny type about 8 or 9. The foot notes (that there are a lot) are practically impossible to read them without a magnifying glass.It's a shame that such a marvellous book must have an edition so bad. Very badly by the AMS. Nothing to do with the good editions of latest author's books with Princeton University Press.I hope in future editions they can offer us a good large hardcover book carefully edited.
