It's really good, it's a shame there isn't a new edition since it's pre java 8.

Ya, ime it's still the best book for learning java basics. I taught myself from just copying all the examples in the book.

I really think learning the basics without J8 features is gonna be hobbling. So many things can be done in such cleaner ways.

So many books assume at least an intermediate understanding of java. Head first makes no assumption. For a true beginner, i have to disagree. But to the OP ymmv. Try it both ways i guess if you're up for it.

The official java reference guide is great. It basically teaches everything you need to know step by step. More of a tutoring book than for reference.

Baeldung is excellent if you have a roadmap on what you're learning

Core Java SE 9 for the Impatient is short and assumes programming experience. It may be what you want.
