I can be much more specific --Font kerning is poor. Just look at the squished-together chapter headings. My copy also has some slightly faded sections of print, like something made in an old mimeograph machine. This isn't a huge deal but it is distracting and just a hint of what is to come.Single quote symbol spacing is awful in this typography. You can't see any spacing between a single and double quote next to each other. This makes the quotations section more difficult to read. You're supposed to be teaching us. Make the characters clear to us.Chapter 2, Python installation, starts off fine, pointing to the Python.org site. But after the first two paragraphs it falls completely off the rails. Let me quote, "Python is accessible for various platforms. You need to download only the binary code that works fine with the platform and you can install Python after that. If it is unavailable, then use a C compiler that can do manual compilation of the source code. Source code compilation gives you suppleness in terms of features required." What the f--- is this?! What possible value is in this paragraph, which has no further explanation?The command line options given shortly after this, on page 11, should be given to us MUCH later in the book or at least with additional explanation. Only one or two of them make any sense to a Python novice at this point. The author might better have pointed to the Python.org site's install documents and said no more, rather than this half-baked chapter.The explanation for multi line comments on page 14 is awkward to me, mostly in the examples. The book needs some leader-lines with text to point to sections of lines (since there is no color) and give explanations.In a book of only 75 pages, five early pages are given to the escape character!Bottom of page 21 is supposed to show an indentation error but has no indent. Some typos are expected in a code-dense book but this is a skinny little booklet. Every example needs to be correct. Do I need another goof? Go look at the comparison operator table later in the book. The example results for both examples of "not equal" (!= and <>) are incorrect. The two variables are not equal so the statement is true, not false. D'oh!Page 27 gives an example of operands and operators with those two words just floating in space. There are clearly some arrows missing, to identify which is which.I'm about halfway through this book and I felt my motivated to post these observations because I bought this book based on reading other reviews here that somehow did not read the same book I'm reading!I'm going to keep working through it but you've been warned. If you want an example of doing all this better, check out the free pages at LearnPythontheHardWay.org. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative and detailed *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015* Very informative and detailed, this book discusses everything from assignment operators to control statements, then gives examples for better illustration.Mind you though, this book is not for absolute novices; it's easy to get lost if you are not familiar with Python in the first place.I think the book could have used with better formatting, so that examples are clearer and easier to understand.Still, I find the book useful. I learned about tuples and how it differentiates from lists and it also discusses more complex concepts like exceptions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jam-packed with Python information. No screenshots though. *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016* This is a lot meatier than the other inexpensive programming books in my collection which is of course a good thing. Though I think this long book isn't enough to learn the language in a single day especially since there are no screenshots. I was hoping for screenshots so I can see the sample codes in another font complete with color coding. Very minor issue though and I do have some patience in analyzing these templates. What matters most is I learned enough vital elements to the point that I'm interesting in doing deeper stuff with the language. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/18795176-programming-python-programming-guide-for-beginners-learn-in-a-day](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/18795176-programming-python-programming-guide-for-beginners-learn-in-a-day) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
