If you feel that way, then the Quick Python Book 2E is not the book
from which you want to learn Python.

I'm not sure, though, why you feel capable of judging Python 3's

cover, the back text and the introduction. But please, feel free to
use your psychic abilities to tell us what we are and are not using.
