Reading all the comments like these in this thread really illustrates why this book will be valuable to some. If you have an interest in coffee beyond just dumping Folgers in your Mr. Coffee in the morning, then a book like this is great to help you understand the pros and cons of various brewing methods, the effect changing variables will have on the taste of your coffee, and what you might expect from different coffee varietals/processing methods/roast levels. If that doesn't sound interesting to you, then I can pretty much promise you that you won't get much enjoyment out of this book.
In the end, everyone's taste will be different; for example, I think the best all-around brew method is a V60, but as you can see from the above comments opinions differ. In the end there's no right or wrong way to enjoy coffee, whatever method produces the cup you enjoy most is the correct method for you. A book like this just helps you find that method.

Can someone buy it and summarize what he says?
Summary: Coffee is complex and has a vast amount of different variables at every step that can effect your end product. Here's an exploration of many of those variables that will help you figure out what aspects of coffee you enjoy the most, and how to make those aspects stand out in the coffee you make for yourself.
Tip: Get a hard copy and place it near your coffee machine as a display item. Your guests will think you make good coffee because you read and studied the book. Sometimes it's more important to sell the sizzle, not the steak.
