This book is, in my opinion, in a similar boat as the Requiem Chronicler's Guide: very useful for beginning, but not specially helpful for veterans.
The best point this book offers is how it makes game mechanics understandable from a storytelling point of view. For beginners is easy to get a little lost with die pools, where to spend your available dots and, generally, lose a little touch with the concept while you deal with character creation and game mechanics during your first sessions. If that is your case, then this book can be very helpful to see game mechanics, characters and story as a whole.
Definetly, I would have loved to read this book when I was starting out.
