Safari at $20 a month just for one book is not a good pitch.
It should include a 10-slot bookshelf as well.

I think it would be a nice option if they offered this book as a PDF.

Keep in mind it did *just* come out (I got mine in the mail
yesterday) and it's over 900 pages. You'll probably need to wait a
bit for full reviews.
Just glancing through it though I'm pretty jazzed up about reading it.
There is a metric ton of content in there and it looks to cover just
about everything to some degree. I could see it being a very helpful
tool for most people, since your area of interest likely receives at
least some coverage.
Also, the lost dinosaur example had me laughing out loud! 
Fair warning: I wrote six of the recipes in that book, so my opinions
are probably biased. I also have done very little real reading yet.
Buyer beware.

I just came across this link which is an outline of the entire book.
