This is a guide that I would describe more as a book of problems to help you do your homework or give you additional examples than it is a guide that will directly teach you the material. It is geared toward the first couple of semesters of circuits, although, depending on how your school divides up material, may also be helpful in some other classes, but the bulk of it deals with the stuff you will see in Circuits I and II, like the various methods of circuits analysis for both AC and DC circuits. So, if you get stuck on a problem, chances are you can find an example in this to help.
The couple of issues that it has is, the diagrams are not the greatest and it is not always easy to follow how they are reducing the circuit. Also, there are errors, sometimes minor and sometimes not, and they are not always easy to spot, especially when you are just learning the material. So, on the whole, I think it is helpful, but there are things you have to watch out for, and I would definitely pair it with something like the Schaum's outline of basic circuit analysis that is geared more toward teaching the concepts than they are just being a problems repository.
