No tutorials, so it's not very useful for a beginner. It's also an older book so the Xcode version used in this book is obsolete.

Good, solid overview of Objective-C, with helpful hints for those coming from the Java world. Some of the structure is a little odd (not a problem if you're reading cover-to-cover), and too much time is spent showing how to perform actions in Java; nevertheless, informative. Could use a little more focus on the specifics of iOS development.

Linguistically, as with most computing books, this volume is never going to set the world on fire.

During my last days at Apple I loathed XCode with a passion, but it's clearly the future of Mac programming for the next few years at least, so I figured I ought to read a comprehensive guide and perhaps learn how to work around some of its most loathsome aspects.
This exercise turned out about as you'd expect:
* some issues can be worked around,
* some issues (most especially a decent multi-file diff system can not, at least not yet), and
* there remain far too many stupid bugs and things that just don't work intuitively.

Well, it'll be a few years if ever before I get round to Mac programming again, and meanwhile XCode 3.0 is almost here, so maybe things will improve.

With respect to this book, it's substantially better than most such books and far from shovelware. It's clearly written by someone who uses an IDE aggressively and cares about what matters to other programmers, and while large, all the bulk is devoted to explaining very clearly what XCode can do and how to work around its problems.
Unlike, for example, most books discussing Dev Studio, there is no nonsense
here about how C++ or Cocoa work; this is a book about XCode that makes it quite clear that if you want to learn about programming languages or APIs, you should go read something else. I applaud the author's sticking to the point.
