Bad Organization
This book is about 30 pages long, and is strangely organized based on key, instead of on scale.

So, for example, page 8 has "Scales based on A", and has: Major, mixolydian, natural minor, pentatonic minor, pentatonic major, blues, A major Arpeggio, A minor arpeggio. And each scale is made to fit as close to the nut as possible, making the fingerings look strange and uncomfortable. It's almost like they took a chord book, and used the same format for a scale book. I am used to seeing scales organized by scale, where there is a box for each mode, and you can see how you would transition between them.

I also own The Ultimate Scale Book by Troy Stetina, which I think is much better, and has more descriptions about each scale, and a very good introduction. Unfortunately it is for right-handers, but I guess I will learn to translate.
