I have purchased all three editions as they have come out, and Melton et. al. continue their superb work in this edition.
It should be noted, however, that this is a dense work to say the least and clearly geared toward a specific audience - graduate students or practicing professionals. I believe the level of breadth and depth in this book is a bit much for a lay audience or undergraduates. No such much because its hard to grasp, as it is not; rather, the level of detail with regard to the subject matter is beyond what a casual reader would need or likely desire. ( )
