The book is quite easy to follow and is not at all heavy-duty or hard going. However, it doesn't go into too much depth about the events business itself, and as a student, that would have been useful for me. Also the book doesn't encourage you to look elsewhere for material, unlike the one by Shone (A) and Parry (B) (which suggests things like weblinks).

Overall, this is a good book, but it has a few drawbacks for non Australian users, even though you can adapt a lot of the material, especially the general techniques and approaches to whatever event you yourself are organising. Having said that I thought it was much more useful than the books by Goldblatt (JJ) which tend to be very descriptive.
