What I enjoy most about this book is the progression of the topics from beginner use up to business use. There are various gems within that would show any user how effectively use Twitter and many of its tools.
Without this book, any Twitter user can easily get overwhelmed with information and updates from various tweets. Knowing and using the tools shared by the book can help greatly.
I recommend this book to every Twitter user and even for non-users who are already planning to start tweeting very soon.
