My personal opinion: The book gives a good cross-section through the different areas of image consulting. The emphasis is clearly placed in the field of image consulting: How I would like to contribute, and how can I achieve this? The work is clearly structured and relaxed with lots of photos. Thus it is also good for occasional reference or quick flight over the individual topics. Technically I think it is nothing new - for the counselor, it is rather a book to refresh the already existing knowledge. Nevertheless, I recommend it to you.
