Review: Truly superb, Julia van Arkell, Subject Leader Computer Science.
Review: Dear Dr Kevin R Bond, purchased two of your books on A-Level Computer Science last year for use with my A-Levels at school. I just wanted to thank you for creating them - compared to every other book I used to study they were MUCH better with plenty of detail (my favourite aspect of them) and a clear focus on the syllabus. I finished my A-Levels last year and had it not been for your books I very likely would not have gotten the grades required to study at my first choice university (LSE) so I am very grateful and appreciate the level of detail and effort that went into writing them. Even though I am not studying Computer Science at university I found the subject invaluable in terms of the practical skills and knowledge that I developed from it, plenty of which was a direct consequence of reading your books. Thanks once again and all the best, Goodwin
Review: As a teacher that has not delivered this specification in the past, I am finding the two books that you have published to be an absolute god send. The level of detail in both of the books, Unit 1 and Unit 2, provides significantly more than the outline framework for the course that is available in other publications.
