1: Not a good book to learn data structure in Java
This book focuses on the AB-specific part of AP test. It starts with a good idea as a beginner's book by having lab sessions and exercises. But the book does not clearly explain concepts and in general lacks of examples, some lab session descriptions are confusing, and some exercises are more suitable with different solutions rather than the data structures it suggests. A better approach is to go with a good "regular" Java data structures book, such as the one by Rober Lafore. These books target a broader readers and do a much better job in presenting data structures in Java. To use these regular data structure books specifically for AB exam, one could just skip the non-AB parts of content.
