The Lean Toolkit is a concise reference of lean tools and techniques. Every tool is presented with a brief summary and some suggestions for how to apply it.
Overall, I thought it was a valuable reference. It introduced me to several new tools and reinforced many of the tools that were already familiar.
In terms of criticism, this probably isn't a book that you would sit down and read cover to cover. I browsed the topics, and I will return to it periodically as a reference.
I liked it, and I would recommend it for lean students and practitioners.

This is a very very comprehensive summary of lean.
It covers every aspect of lean and most importantly through this toolbox, I get to know huge amount of excellent books within operation management and General management.
It is a good starting point to further drill down to different element by following the reference books.

Very good introduction to lean production techniques, a lot of vocabulary research required for the complete layman but overall a great introduction.
