Hi Peter.
I bought this book last April and It is just great!
Unfortunately, I haven't had very much opportunity to put the lessons into practice as there are usually several pilots teaching beginners takeoffs and landings at our club during the time I have to practice. I'm currently flying a small foamy Extra 300 so I can't fly it very far from the runway and still see the orientation.
Hopefully, this season I will have my 2M plane finished and be able to practice maneuvers at 150 M out from the flight line, out of the way of the landing pattern.
