This is a pretty simple 'get you started' book of about 60 pages (for
a few $) not dissimilar to the wisdom available here for a few $ less
from Dr flash. There are some nice illustrations showing when it's
useful to use flash (like we've also discussed here). The brand
specific pages are really just the menu setting / button pressing
steps to get the wireless communication to the flash working.
The techniques in the end are unavoidably similar - start from x,
chimp the exposure, and adjust to taste.
