Can you specify which book you mean, when you say "ISLR"?

Thanks!

This one: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/

Not to be confused with this one: https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/ElemStatLearn/ (a.k.a. ESL)

Do you happen to know how the two books compare to each other?

Elements is much more rigorous and also longer.
