I bought this book as a gift but learned alot from it myself. I found it quite helpful.
Some things in the book were hard to find, such as the explanation of different zone defenses for NCAA. Once found, I did learn something! The explanations were short and to-the-point.
There were some pictures and diagrams, but mostly the book is text. I was hoping for more pictures.
The book covers both NBA and NCAA basketball.
Overall, not a bad place to get started with basketball!
