My dear, for no profession of the earth a single book can provide more than just an elementary course on everything or something on one element of it, please explain what is bad to a book containing merely the former? Especially, when you want to start learning on a topic.
There is something about that kind of introduction that makes me reach toward the downvote button. Especially when used in the context of a sentence that does not make grammatical sense and a comment that demonstrates an incorrect understanding of the position being refuted.
“If you must be patronising then at least make sure you’re right, for crying out loud!” tends to be my attitude. But maybe that is just me being excessively picky. :)
That’s a weird feature to claim for a book you say is both good and only covers elementary knowledge.

(FWIW, I do not know the book in question.)
