This book is a theoretical book -as said in title. Unless you have solid mathematic background, this book may not be for you. I said "solid" doesn't mean "a lot" or "advanced", just a simple algebra that you learn in high school -but it has to be SOLID :) I use this book in theoretical part of my thesis and dissertation but you can find other substitution though. Look at Integer and Combinatorial Optimization by Nemhauser and Wolsey, it might be more practical.

This book is good. A person with a strong backgroud in mathematics can understand it well, otherwise it will take the reader some time to go through all the details.

A great reference text book, with some great historical notes about the history of both linear and integer programming.

It is the first book, both me and my advisor check out, when we require any thing on Linear and Integer Programming.

It's an excelent book, but in order to use it as a classroom book I will make two improvement
1) Add an exercises section at the end of each chapter
2) Deal more extensively with Mixed Integer Linear Programming problem, e. g. add the proof of the finiteness of the Gomory's Cutting Plane Method.
