This book has a lot of good nutrition information and creative combinations of fruits and vegetables.
My main complaint would be in the basic premise of juicing which removes the most nutritious elements of the produce and disposes of the valuable bulk elements. This process, while giving an extreme nutrition boost, leaves the user with a hungry belly that they will most likely fill with food choices that are lacking in fiber and possibly lacking all nutritional value whatsoever.
To the books credit, for each recipe they provide instructions for preparing in a food processor or blender.
To it's detriment, it recommends removing the seeds from everything. I need to study more about this because I know some, like peach pits, contain a toxic interior. But I believe most seeds are not only not harmful but often contain some of the most nutritious elements. This also applies to the skins of most fruits. Of course, if you don't buy organic you may not ever be able to wash off the chemicals.

I just watched the movie "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". It made me interested in what juicing was all about. I thought this was a good introductory book to the concept. It also had a good variety of recipes. I especially loved how it gave you the nutrition of each recipe!

This is a correct book about making juice from fruits and vegetables. Nothing more.
