  Well, I've taken a gander at this book, and it's more like
  a compilation of articles on various (more advanced) topics
  that could be of wildly different relevance to any given reader,
  rather than a coherent textbook. It might make sense to peruse 
  one of these articles as needed when you're looking to bone
  up on its specific subject, but I don't see the point 
  in plowing through all these articles in advance just because
  you might need the stuff in them someday.
