From the reviews:

...Lang's present book is a source of interesting ideas and brilliant techniques.

... It is an admirable straightforward introduction to calculus.
Mathematika

A First Course in Calculus went through five editions since the early sixties. Now the original edition of A First Course in Calculus is available again. The approach is the one that was successful decades ago, involving clarity and adjusted to a time when the students' background was not as substantial as it might have been. ... The audience is intended to consist of those taking the first calculus course, in high school or college. (G. Kirlinger, Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, Vol. 57 (193), 2003)
