Never heard of it. Personally, I use Maths In Focus and New Senior Mathematics. I refer to Cambridge's Extension level questions if I have time, which I usually don't.

Use the cambridge. It's good if you find a topic easy and you want to see harder questions.

New Senior Mathematics is an awesome book. So is Cambridge.

For Mathematics, it's always essential to possess multiple sources of textbooks as reference aids and study tools. The more textbooks you have, the more likely you are to be exposed to many different styles of questions, methods and reasoning.

Well, there's also the time factor. There's no point in having 6 textbooks if you only have a set amount of time. It's a waste of money.
