arihant algebra sk goyal

so i recently bought Arihant Algebra by SK goyal as many people recommended it as best book for algebra. I started doing matrices from it & what i find is,it has lot of mistakes in theory. Havent done any problem yet so cant say about it,the one i have is a new edition that they recently updated on their site
this is it http://arihantbooks.com/indetails.asp?id=8
I bought it to read theory but since theory has got mistakes,i dont have much faith in it,so what should i do now?
I have Arihant objective approach to mathematics by Amit M Agarwal
And IIT Mathematics by M L Khanna,i just started my preparations.
im in 12th now,from where should i read theory & do problems ?
what makes me sad that a lot of people recommend arihant algebra & after spending 500rs i find it a waste :|

well i always used tmh only

the theory he gave there along with my 12th class board textbooksused to be enough

try doing the sums in tmh and that should help u enough

as for complete theory , i dont think u have time for it to start all over again, sos pend osme extra time and go over the topics where u feel u r weak and need improvment
