Yes, it's a good book. Pretty expensive though (my library has it so I didn't have to buy it :)). It has a lot of info in it, so it's a good reference. Pretty much anything in the book, though, you can find right here in the forums. Having information readily available in a book is handy though.

Yes, I got it for Christmas too and I HIGHLY recommend it. Yes, most of the info in it you could get from the forums, but the book lays it out in a way that you can read through and learn some things you might not have thought to look for.
