Customer Review: Promotional Material for Copic Products
This book is helpful but its clear focus is on how to use copic markers and products. Drawing manga is secondary.
Customer Review: Don't Pay Full Price
Better yet, don't pay for it at all. Get it free if you can (like borrowing it from the library). To highlight the problems other readers have mentioned:

1. "The Drawings are Not too Good". Unevenly portioned faces and bodies. Seems more amateur than professional.
2. "COPIC. BUY COPIC. COPIC is best." Argh.
3. A combination of 1 and 2 distracts from what the book is trying to teach.

If airbrushing is totally new to you, then this certainly won't hurt, but it won't help much either.
