Good for beginners
I'm a seasoned ex-elite racer. I bought this book with great enthusiasm, but found it to be oriented to the novice rider. It didn't add as much as I though it would, in fact, after my 10+ year career, it didn't add anything!

There are better books for bicycle racing out there: Eddie B.'s Bicycle Road Racing is my favorite, even if it's 20 years old.

This book tells about training, bicycle equipment and very little about racing itself.

Good for first time racers
..but brings very little value if you have been in cycling for a while and experienced your first race already. I would suggest joining a good racing team instead

Good read.
I'd recommend this book. As an junior racer many, many years ago, I was able to reflect on some of the advice that was gained 'the hard way', ie- by making mistakes. Defininitely a good read for someone starting out in racing.
