From the reviews: "This book is truly about metric spaces. … The book is packed full of material which does not often appear in comparable books. … His use of questions to increase understanding and to move on to the next topic are also to be appreciated. … this is a great book and suitable … for third-and fourth-year under-graduates and beginning graduate students." (Marion Cohen, MathDL, January, 2007) "The book is very readable. It includes appendixes on the necessary mathematical logic and set theory, and has a substantial number of exercises… Every concept is demonstrated via a large number of examples, starting with commonplace ones and expanding the reader’s horizon with the more abstruse ones, to give a sense of the scope of the concepts… A useful addition to any library supporting an undergraduate mathematics major." (D. Z. Spicer, CHOICE, March, 2007)
