Summary: A good beginner's book, but not not great for it's audience
Comment: If you are trying to learn how to yo-yo FOR THE FIRST TIME, then this is a good book for you. Advanced spinners shouldn't consider this book at all (if you know what a lindy loop is, you're advanced). I've mastered tricks like atom smasher and barrel rolls and am now working on pop-up tricks and I find this book almost common sense. if you can do braintwisters and other tricks of that level, there isn't much for you to learn from this book.
This book is a good one for beginners, offering basic tricks, tips, and history. Unfortunately, most beginners aren't serious enough about yo-yoing to buy a book. If you can't do a braintwister, this is a good buy; if you can, learn tougher tricks from websites like Cosmic Yo-Yo, 3D Smarty Pants, and Sector Y.
In conclusion, first timers should get this book, but spin masters shouldn't.

Summary: Excellent Choice!
Comment: There are a lot of Yo-Yo trick books on the market, but this one stands apart from the rest. The chapters on History, Types of Yo-Yos and Maintenance are great! The illustrations are great - tricks are explained using color photos.
The history section has information I've not seen anywhere else, and the maintenance section covers fixed axle yo-yos as well as transaxle yo-yos. I found the Science chapter very informative and entertaining. The zoetrope of "Time Warp" was a nice touch too.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning to yo-yo. Tricks go from the very basic one handed tricks to advanced two handed tricks. Tricks are explained in easy language and are graded according to difficulty (very helpful for the beginner looking to learn some new tricks).
