I was at a friend's house who bought this book, and I got to check it out.
I got to scan the contents and read a couple of sections, and the overall impression: amazing - thorough, and well-organized - There was a ton of material in here, to capture mostly all situations and decisions regarding micro stakes on-line. I don't play the micro-stakes, but most of the information was about how to play fundamentally well, and succeed by doing so. Blackrain actually posts his positive results, so that's a good testimonial as well. Although many decisions at these stakes are automatic, the author gives an advanced view on the subject, covering alot of situations that involve tricky spots/decisions (Ex: What to do after your c-bet is raised, value-betting with multiple hand types on the river, c-betting/3-bet/4-bet situations and bet sizes, etc.) The author goes into some depth on these and other topics, answering mostly all situations that could seemingly arise.
Beyond the strategic advice, there is a lot of great, well-conveyed poker advice scattered throughout the book, especially in the introduction.
Overall, this really is an awesome A-Z book about micro-stakes (~250 pages) - well written, with very, very detailed information.
I think any player could benefit from reading.

Agree completely - in this case, author gives a unique take on poker, and his experiences, sharing successful tips and information.
