Excellent pedagogy and organization. Examples and the selection for the exercises really help, and the balance between mathematical rigor and accessibility is very well done. Gives Strang's books a run for their imo.
Some gripes:
1. Would've preferred an actual solutions manual rather than the online study guide.
2. Using baseball as the motivating example for the entirety of section 10.6 is questionable.

I've taken a course taught along with this book, and it was a wonderful experience. It is great at clarifying Linear Algebra concepts ranging from visualization to calculations. I found its descriptions of programming certain problems very useful as well.
