Well, the book is freely available for download as a pdf, so you can
check it out yourself and see what you think.  The general consensus
here seemed to be that the book was an excellent resource.

If you find the pdf version as useful as I think you will, I would
strongly suggest purchasing a hard copy.  The price is good for what
you get, and the authors put a LOT of work into it.
