Summary: Best place to start
Comment: I can not improve on the comments made by most reviewers. I took my first abstract algebra course using the 1st edition and found it to be an excellent introduction. I've looked at subsequent editions and see the same high quality and clarity, along with minor improvements in each edition.
If you want a solid intro to the topic, check this book out.
Finally, as usual, there was one reviewer who simply "didn't get it".

Summary: Superb explanations, great excercises,not sacrificing rigor.
Comment: One of the best mathematics books I have ever read!
If you like pure mathematics, and want a book that helps you learn abstract algebra fast without sacrificing depth, this is it! Easy to read, and the excercises after each section are split into "Computations", "Concepts", and "Theory", and doing them helps to ensure that you have grasped it all and not misunderstood anything. I love this book! And no, this is not an advertisement!

Summary: A Good First Theory Book
Comment: My undergrad Abstract Algebra I & II classes used this book (or rather the 6th edition which Amazon is no longer carrying). I think it's a very good book with a sufficient number of examples and detailed explanations. The reviewer who stated that this is not a book for mathematicians is correct; this is a book for undergrad students taking their first course in theoretical mathematics. The title of the book, "A FIRST Cource in Abstract Algebra", assumes this which is why proofs and explanations are often incorporated together. I think that most students would appreciate the lengthly explanations and lack of overly technical proofs. Having a good professor to go along with this book, however, is what sold it to me.
