In addition to what @Wipro  have said, there's a lot of good reads about Blockchain and Bitcoin so I'm not really sure what's the advantage of this book. Maybe if you are a old school and wanted to carry books around and read it in your free time then you can appreciate getting this one because its quite cheap. Although the author has a impressive resume: (https://in.linkedin.com/in/kkkulkarni), I don't think that its enough to push his book to mainstream, although this is a niche industry, people wants someone who is more influential, IMHO.

I am really sorry but the bitcoin tutorials are available more in numbers in the form of article or Youtube video. This is really enough to learn the usage and what are the all aspects we need to learn while we are involved in blockchain technology.
I suggest Rise and Rise of bitcoin video for beginners who wanna learn crypto platform.
Then Mastering bitcoin for the people who wanna learn it completely. This bio will not work in the crypto industry research and blockchain development side. I own the Article from Udemy which is really good to understand the Solidity.
