Last Great Hope
I should stress that my rating only applies to using the book as a self-study tool.

Each chapter is divided into three sections: (a) general formulae for the topic (b) solved problems and (c) exercises. There are answers in the back of the book. Section (a) is generally incomprehensible except you already know the topic. Section (b) is generally excellent and is where most of my learning happened. After (b), section (a) made sense. Section (c) is great for extensive practicing but frankly I did not have as much time as was necessary to do this properly. About all the books I've seen on diff eqn are quite difficult to study on one's own as soon as one moves beyond basic second order linear eqns. This book was my great last hope. I'd appreciate any suggestions from those more widely read on this topic than I.
