Summary: terrible binding
Review: When I read another review saying how bad the binding was, I thought they were exaggerating. However, as soon as I started thumbing through it, the first four pages started falling out! Nice exercises, but I returned it b/c I know that I will not be able to use it with the pages so loose.Maybe you get what you pay for. The more expensive "Sharpen Your Tactics" by Lein is much more sturdy, though also much more difficult and not solely focused on mating threats.

Summary: Great Value for the price
Review: You cannot beat the value for the price. While the books organization will not give you any real insight into how to find and solve various checkmating themes, 1001 positions is more than enough to get you started. I've been going through the puzzles in this book for years and still haven't worked my way through all the solutions.
