Advancing Physics OCR text book

Anyone else on this A level physics course using the IOP text book.

Is it just me or is the book shockingly bad? There is very little explanation on how or why things are so, more just background reading on off subject topics, whats the point? When I come to revise from it at the end of each chapter, there are only 6 questions with answers, and even those have no worked answers!

The quick check questions are also pretty annoying, with no answers or working, how am I supposed to check if I know it or not?

Anyone else feeling this?

If I ever go insane and start murdering people, then the piss-poor quality of that ************* textbook will be to blame.
Mega necro but holy **** the book has not improved in 7 years

If anyone's ever done salters chemistry, it's like Chemical Storylines but you don't get a Chemical Ideas.
