Written at the level a beginner will easily understand and appreciate, but the content takes the reader past a beginner level. When I was done reading the book, and had done a few of the practice exercises that can be done from home, I was very comfortable with my knowledge-base. This book gave me what I needed to go out and let practice take me to new levels of shooting expertise. I have a much better understanding of what I should be paying attention to and practicing. Days at the range are not as much trial and error guessing as they once were. I enjoy much greater success on the range now that I have this information in my head. I was a little reluctant to spend that kind of money on a book I couldn't really sample well, but I am so glad I did.
