Just got it a couple weeks ago. The thing that struck me was how many of the varieties are very, VERY minor. That's not a complaint, I'm just saying that be aware that IMHO many of the varieties listed wouldn't have any appeal to other than the most hard-core variety collector.
It certainly is comprehensive, though, and I don't think I ever met a coin book I didn't like.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
