I'm using this book to refresh and reinforce myself on the ALM topics I didn't work on for quite a few years. I'm not disappointed. The flow of information is very consistent. The examples are detailed and pedagogic. The content is "practitioner's" rather than "academic." A very nice introduction to the subject!
