Yesss, this is my favorite non-reference algebra text.
Why do you think it isn't popular, compared to Artin, Lang, D&F, Herstein? What reference do you like?
-
-
My guess is that it isn't great a course text— having a prof make the nice prose less critical, not enough exercises, &c.
-
I like GTM Hungerford as a reference— lots of detail and exercises, very useful for self-study.
-
To me it feels like what is good about Lang, but with extra detail that Lang leaves you to fill in yourself.
-
For a non-reference, I'd also strongly rec. this one by Lang: https://www.amazon.com/Undergraduate-Algebra-Texts-Mathematics/dp/0387220259 …
