excellent for starters, good for review
This book is good for all. It is easy to understand, goes over basics, goes over the more detailed stuff. As a novice to autocrossing, I found it very helpful to learn all the basics in one book. Anything anyone has told you about the basics out on the track has been listed here. Not a substitute for track time, and some of the autocross wizards have pearls but they might be jumping over the basics. An excellent read.

Excellent instruction
I've been competing in time trial events for about a year now, and bought this book to improve my driving. I found the information on how to drive faster extremely useful, and several ideas were introduced to me that I had not thought of before. The chapter on evaluating the course as a whole was also very useful and taught me how to evaluate a track - to know which sections are the most crucial. The discussion of suspension and car setup is good, but another reference will probably be needed for the serious chassis tuner.I gave the book 4 stars because there are several chapters devoted to the process of autocrossing and time trialing (e.g. signing in, scutineering, etc) which I found less useful as it is something one picks up at your very first event anyway.

Wonderful book for any autocrosser!
I highly recommend this book if you have any intention of being competitive in autocross driving. In fact, I would recommend it even for casual racers. Tons of great information on driving technique, the fast line, tire adhesion, preparation of the car and driver, and more. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to drive fast.
