This is a good book for starters in logic

The chapters are well ...

The best book about good vs. unfair rhetoric I've seen.
I collect books about fallacies. With Good Reason is definitely the best of the 32 such books I've accumulated so far. His explanations are very clear, and he covers important subject matter ignored by other authors, such as fallacies caused by vagueness and ambiguity.
