Is it one of those well known brand name "for dummies" books with the yellow cover, and published by the same company that's done hundreds of others?

That link doesn't look like it's for a brand name "for dummies book", and it's slightly cheeky of the author to use the "for dummies" idea if his book's nothing to do with the brand.

That's really a nice summary and simple to understand for people being interested in Bitcoin and cryptos in general.
But man these graphics need some improvement.Could have been better, even with a pen. Cheesy

I think the company that makes those books just hire people to release the content, i mean it's not a centralized group of authors, anyone can release there but in a way its a bit centralized since possibly you need to get approved by them. I think it's a joke that you have to give those guys royalties if you want to use their infamous "for dummies" cover tho.

Sorry but it's shit, no focus, unnecessary comparisons, not to mention the horrible handwriting, unreadable in certain parts.

In my opinion not every body can comprehend what this files trying to accomplish it was like a doctor compute all of it I rather read about bitcoin on this forum or on coindesk or weusecoin than finishing this I got a sore eyes just trying to understand what it is all about i doubt if a real dummy can understand this

Well that is about 8 minutes of my life that I will never get back.  I like the idea and the motivation of this all, but the writing was horrible and the information was so jumbled that it got confusing.  If someone was serious about doing this, it would be a great idea to explain to newbies, but this is just to poor in information and quality to make sure whoever is reading this will completely understand it all.

Sounds good, will definitely give it a try when I have some spare time for it!

Would it be a good book to share with people that might be interested in joining the crypto scene?
