As much information and as much fun to read as a phone book.
This book is useful for reference purposes only – you cannot learn Jira with it!
Plus, the title is misleading, because most of the book focuses on Jira administration, not Jira usage, so there’s only a minority of users who will need this much information.
I liked Hands-On Agile Software Development with JIRA: Design and manage software projects using the Agile methodology much better.
