Overpriced but possible good
Fifty odd dollars for a 130 pages book is a bit too much. But I couldn’t find anything else on this topic that is this widely recommended.

Introduction to Commutative Algebra.
Good.

Canonical introduction to commutative algebra
Now this is clearly *the* best mathematics text I've come upon. It was the syllabus in my first course in commutative algebra. Taking the course and readig the book was a real pain, but I've never learned so much from so few pages. In addition to introducing "all" necessary subjects in commutative algebra, the book is stuffed with really good exercises. I always come back to this book - looking up terms and definitions and proofs. And of course, taking it with me on holidays so I can work on the exercises :).

I was initially impressed by the book’s content, but the overall product is a huge letdown. Charging 67 dollars for fewer than 150 pages is outrageous, especially when the printing quality is so poor. Several pages were practically unreadable due to terrible printing. Considering the high price and subpar production, I can’t recommend this book at all.

Love the exercises
Love the exercises. They supplement the exposition so well that together they produce magic.

This sounds like a hyperbole, but it is one of the best math book I have ever read. You cannot find an extra word anywhere, it is a book to keep in one's library if the subject interests you. The main defect is that some of the exercises are very difficult and they deserve much more space, therefore there are few basic examples which would be very useful the first time reading about these topics.

I loved it. It is a really short book so if you know just a little about rings, it guides you in the way of learning some advanced facts

As others have rightly said probably the best book on the subject. But £58.72 for 128 pages so badly printed as to be hardly readable is just theft.

I am honestly outraged about the printing quality of the copy I received. I knew the book from a hardback copy I had gotten from the library. The printing in this cheap print paperback version is barely readable. I paid 40 pounds for this when the printing cost is below 5 pounds. (Since this book is a standard work it is not necessary to mention that the contents of the book are excellent)
