This book has an overview of several types of Y2H screens and the critical points on getting success. As a first book for someone who was a yeast novice, I found it useful up to a point, but did not bother to read the whole thing, as much of it was irrelevent. Perhaps it's not intended to be read through in this way. Certainly this is a difficult subject to cover fully, as there are now many new variations on the screen which all have their own peculiarity.
A novice might want to read the most relevent chapters, someone with a problem with a specific screen might get something out of their specific chapter, but overall there is an almost equal amount (or greater) of information in the protocol booklets that come for free (or are freely downloadable) with commercial kits for Y2H. Personally I would read some of those first, and they may well make the purchase of this book unnecessary.
