265 pages from UCLA, dedicated in part “to the readers of my blog, for their feedback and contributions” — which is the unusual thing about it. The book was written in public, in posts, and the corrections came from readers before it was a book.

Standard graduate material — Lebesgue measure, integration, the convergence theorems — from an author who is unusually good at saying why each construction is forced.
