This text is an excellent supplement to a course in compressible flows. It is a bit simplistic with respect to the example problems given; the text itself is a VERY easy read. The concepts are clearly explained, and the material is divided in a very logical, straightforward manner. Would definitely recommend as a first text in compressible flows. For a more advanced treatment, see the book by Anderson.
