Deep... not Vast
This book is quite impressive in theoretical concept. This is appropriate for (really) very advanced undergrates, graduates with IO major (theoretical and analytical aspects) and researchers in IO. This book is absolutely not for introductory IO. The topics focus mainly on Quantity, Price, Spatial competition and Asymmetric Information. Tools used in the book are quite advanced. The good point of the book is strength in precise consideration of price discovery in oligopoly market. (how the price is formed, uniqueness and existence of the solution.) Other topics, e.g. advertising and entry, are not good stated here.
If you are looking for introductory text (advanced undergrates or graduate) in IO, see Tirole 1988. However if you are finding for the advanced books, see Handbook of IO (vol1 for pure theory, vol2 for empirical and extension ;esp. in international aspect of IO) and pick this one (if you are interested in Q, P and Spatialy concepts) also. Enjoy reading...
