选题讨论:大部头的“少儿”图书

最近电子社的打折简直疯狂,双十一之前就搞了数次200-100,而11月底当当的200-100/100-50,规模比之前更大(一万本),而且很多刚上架的新书也参与了进来。

有一本《DK宇宙大百科》进入了我的视野。从亚马逊的定价与出版商来看,这显然是一本科普而非教材,虽然有不少整页图片,但是文字密度也相当高,内容上也是又大又全。具体的出版参数如下: DK宇宙大百科,电子社飞思少儿,889x1194 12K 45印张,1620千字,298元。

This book, however, is for beginners, not for intermediate or advanced readers who will take advantage of the programming features. RfE is readable and accessible for you, and maybe you have to read it carefully and thoroughly in order to get an A grade.
