Summary: a book not to be missed
Comment: Mathematicians and lovers of algebra: this is it. This has been the best algebra book I have seen since the mid 1980s. The explanations and proofs are clear and easy to follow. One could only wish that other authors could write like prof. Cohn does. it is extremely unfortunate that the publisher (Wiley & Sons) has kept this book, and the other two (Algebra vol.2 and vol.3) out of stock and/or out of print for so long. Maybe one day these three books will once again be more accessible in the US.

Summary: Superb!
Comment: I entirely agree with the reviewer from Tokyo. The book is comprehensive, and at the same time the presentation is very humane. It's time to assign every other textbook to the flames and start using this one in every respectable algebra course. I envy those English students who have had the course from the author himself.

Rating: 5
Summary: Both elegant and lucid. Highly recommended.
Comment: One of the best textbooks on algebra (together with Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 that cover more advanced topics.) Far more accessible than the textbook by Serge Lang.
