A Pocket Guide to Formal Logic is a succinct primer meant especially for those without any prior background in logic. Its brevity makes it well-suited to introductory courses in critical thinking or introductory philosophy with a formal logic component, and its friendly tone offers a welcoming introduction to this often-intimidating subject. The book provides a focused presentation of common methods used in statement logic, including translations, truth tables, and proofs.
