so far it gave me a very good impression!
I strongly recommend, even for non-pilots.
It's a very good book to sharpen everyday mental-math-skills!
Enjoy!

This book covers all the neat little tricks to getting the job done quickly and right. It is also a great book for interview prep. Goes into detail on how to do the math problems and gives several ways to do the problems. There are also review problems at the end of each chapter. A must buy for interviews or if you are just looking for a way to make your flying job easier.

This is an excellent book for anyone preparing for an airline interview. I was recently hired by a regional airline and several interview questions consisted of mental math problems. Buy this book and the ATP test prep....good luck!
