I am best classified as a part-time professional location based shooter who shoots without use of assistants. I shoot all Nikon gear and typically do event, portrait, intimate, and children's sporting events. I do not do weddings due to the complexity of the event (that is a confession by the way). I love photography and would do what I do for free but I happen to get paid most of the time.
For this book to have any value to you, you must have the fundamental basics of photography mastered. Well, maybe not "mastered." But you must have the fundamental knowledge to apply those basics to various situations before you can apply the lessons in this book. So, if you are just starting out or just a hobbyist, focus on books that cover the basics such as exposure, metering, gear, natural lighting, aperture,etc... If you are still using the scene settings (program mode) on your camera, don't even think about this book. You should know how to shoot manually first.
That being said, this book, despite the constant use of the word "flair" is extremely valuable for portrait shooters leaning toward the fashion/glamour side of photography. It has some of the best visual examples (I like to deconstruct shots)from which to work. Adler presents the information so coherently that if you have a at least the fundamentals of photography down, you will easily benefit from even just browsing this book (the shots are inspiring).
Although the book has the word "wedding" in the title, the lessons and samples are easily applied to any portrait shoot (in studio or on location), especially with women. Adler does a great job of explaining gear and lighting so that even a hobbyist moving up should be able to use many of the techniques on their next shoot.
