Good but not a must read, except of the appendix. Back there, for each of the four types of poker players, Schoonmaker has two solid pages on the characteristics of each type. He tells you how to beat, what styles of play work against each player. He also devotes two pages per style to help you improve, depending your poker type.
Read this book if you know your poker odds but need help understanding how to read players.

Pretty good. Has some original elements that other poker books don't have.
