Learning to read Polish

I do mean read, because learning to actually speak it at my age would be rather difficult. Anyhow, I got this book, because the cover says 'a comprehensive guide.' One of the attractions of the study of language is its analytical nature, which appeals in particular to the systems of thinking I was taught by mathematics and engineering when I was younger. Polish is a rather difficult language, compared to the various Romanic languages I have developed some limited fluency with (Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, French), and it will take some work. So I'll give this a year; not just this progressive grammar book, but - later on - the careful reading of a familiar novel translated into the Polish language. That, I've found, is an excellent way to build vocabulary. How about this one?
