I bought this book, but found it pretty much useless. In my opinion, its presentation of techniques and the history of the subject is skewed. Authors' contributions are presented in an overinflated manner, so the reader would never guess that sometimes there exist more powerful and at the same time simpler approaches. There are much better books on mathematics of tomography, for instance the ones written by F. Natterer. Analytically inclined readers would like to read other books on Radon transform, e.g. the one by S. Helgason. The old books directed towards applications by G. Herman and Kak and Slaney are still of value. There are also some good edited volumes on the subject.
