I've had this book in my possession before, but never owned it. I used it as a reference for a student film and I learned a lot from it. Sure, you can do a lot of the stuff in Avid now, without having to do it the old fashion way, but how can you make the SFX if you don't know what you're trying to achieve? This book tells you how the effects were done practically, and then from their it may inspire you to see NLE in a new way.
Personally, that's how I feel about this book. It taught me to have new found respect for all the work that went into filmmaking before I came along. So, if you want to learn more about the filmmaking process and really open your mind, get this book. As far as I know they aren't making any more copies, and some are going for well over [...]bucks. So obviously somebody thinks it's valuable, that's why I finally ordered my copy. It really is an amazing book. If you want to be a DP or knowledgeable camera operator, then you should know your past.
