I learned the basics from there one time and it was very readable and clear. I also agree with Francois that presentation is the key, the standards for book exercise questions on MO are definitely higher than those of math.SE! | |

Most exercises in Jech are definitely on topic here though there is a useful trick which is to dig through the papers in the historical notes until a solution is found. For Chapter 24, this is not too helpful since reading Shelah's book on pcf theory is not for the light hearted. (Fortunately, I think this one is from the older Galvin-Hajnal paper.) | |

(Although this question would definitely be welcomed on math.stackexchange.com just as well) | |
