Tried to pick a book to get into linear algebra recently, the experience was fairly hellish. First course this, second course that, done right, done wrong... I'd to the LADR4e route, but I don't have the proof-it chops yet...

I like Serge Lang's books for clarity of explanations. He has an Introduction to Linear Algebra which concisely covers the basics (265 pages in the main text), and grounds the matrix computations in the geometric interpretation.

Be aware that Lang has another book, called just "Linear Algebra", which is more theoretical.

This book somehow managed the escape the usual recommendations, thank you.
