Comprehensive for an introduction. It's supposed to be a student's first exposure to the material.
If you were more succinct, people would probably object to your writing less. Your verbosity clouds your meaning.

Early in my career, I got each volume of Knuth's TACP right away and dug in. No, I didn't solve all the exercises with stars! Later I had a course. The prof covered the high points of the sorting and searching volume in about two lectures. He was correct: Those were the high points. So, the prof gave an 'introduction', in two lectures. Knuth didn't give an 'introduction'. 1000 pages ain't an 'introduction' although in depth that book often is.
You are not concerned about the book but are torqued at me for some of what I said about the book. You took what I said personally, as if I was mean to your favorite baby.
You need to grow up.
