You may just a Hobbyist or a Professional Drone pilot. I would say, It's a bible for all the Drone lovers. It avoids the hassle of searching on the internet to know more about Drones the new hobby.

Because the book contains:
History of Drones
Advise for beginner drone hobbyist
Drone buying advises
Overview of Drone industry
Components
Best practices for the pilots
About FPV cameras and Videos
and..........
Dedicated chapter on DIY drone.

What else you needed? Go enjoy. Thanks to Adam Juniper the author to put it altogether.

The editing was nearly nonexistent in this book. In fact, the punctuation, grammar, and spelling were so bad it became a real distraction when trying to read this book. I know very little about drones (which is why I wanted to read the book). I have very little confidence in the content of the book because of the frequency of these errors.

This is a useful familiarisation with the basics of multicopter drones.
