I just picked this up at a local Border's a couple of days ago and I'm about halfway through it. It is truly an awesome book.
Once of the nicest things about it is that in the hand problem sections he fully illustrates everything about the hand, including a diagram of the table, your position, the chip counts of all the other players, etc. It's really helping me visualize each of the problems and makes it easier to not just skip to the answer.
I've also read Tournaments for Advanced Players and so far Harrington's book has been much more enjoyable. In terms of pure data, TAP may have the edge, but I feel like I'm getting more out this book.
I forgot to mention something, so I'm editing my post:
Another super cool thing about this book is that Harrington talks about the strategic differences between SnG's, cheap MTT's (<$100 buy-in), not-cheap MTT's (>$100 buy-in), and B&M tournies. I haven't seen anyone break down the strategies into these categories and being I participate in three out of the four types of tournies this is incredibly helpful for me.
