As an instruction "how to" book for the average player, it is poor.

My take on it as well. I look at it this way. A lot of us have a basic idae how a car engine works, but would you really attempt serious engine work without a workshop manual that gives you all the specs, tolerances,unique language,terms and procedures? Unless you are a very experienced mechanic, probably not, and even then, you likely have a shop manual for reference. Would a shop manual be useful to a novice who barely knows how to check the oil? Probably not. Homer Kelly authored a workshop manual for the golf swing. Lynn and Ted are very experienced in the contents, and probably only use it periodically like the very esperience auto mechanic. As a tool for the novice golfer, it holds about the same value as the shop manual does for the neophyte auto mechanic.
