As it is easy to read

I would say that it's suitable for beginners through to advanced painters
As your experience grows, you can easily refer back and get even more from it.
It is beautifully illustrated

With over 200 illustrated pages which demonstrates the point being made.
Great quality

The pages are made from thick enough paper to stand up to being regularly thumbed through to check something.
Applicable

While this book is written for 2D artists, it still helps you understand what to look for and why. This can help us apply that "theory" to our models to take them to the next level.

This book is written for traditional and digital 2D artists.

Therefore some elements may be less useful for us as modellers (such as painting sky panels or colour scripting).
You do need to think about it...

This may sound silly, but it is not designed to be a step-by-step tutorial. You have to take the knowledge and figure out how it applies to your project which can be a learning curve in itself.
