This was a great resource when my wife and I were looking into job opportunities in China. While we didn't end up there (we ended up accepting a great opportunity in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), we got great use out of this book during the time we were job searching.
As with any resource like this, the book strives for a balance between breadth and depth, and that balance is never going to be perfect for every reader. Some will find sections on cities they are not interested in to be unhelpful and others might want information on a city or area that is not as popular with expats and gets less coverage in the book.
That being said, as someone with limited knowledge of China, I found this to be a great resource, especially because it covered so many topics that are just not available in guides aimed at tourists.
More up-to-date information will be found using online resources, but this is a well-organized and concise reference that I would highly recommend at least as a good start to anyone considering living or working in China.
