I don't have that book, but I do have a few of Peter Riddle's other books and they are all very informative and very well written. I really like his writing style and for me his books are easy reads. He is also very knowledgeable on the subjects in the books I have. I can't say the same for some of the other train book authors.
IMO, going by his other books, I would imagine it would be a good book.
I've got it an find it a great resource. Its focused more toward "toy trains" and whimsy rather than all scale sized items. He uses Plasticville, operating accessories and etc. Quite up to date with foam for both the scenery and the layout. Final chapter is on building a drive-in theater using a DVD player or tablet, something recently discussed here.

I have it and have used it on occasion. It's best use is o probably inspiration. I've two to three good ideas out of it that I've implemented. I figure any book is worth the price and the read if I can get a couple of usable ideas.
Thanks for all your replies.
Kind of a last minute heads up.
Kalmbach books is having a 50% off sale on toy train books. TODAY is the last day for the sale. This book is included in the sale.
