The cover makes it look like it's going to focus on the really popular manga such as the 'Shonen Jump' titles... which kind of puts me off it. But the review above says it focusses on all different types so could be interesting.
The manga books I really do like are those written by Frederik L. Schodt. I'd recommend "Dreamland Japan" to anyone interested in learning more about Manga.

Yes, that is what I was trying to link to...but I guess you have already heard of it. The book dosent just reveiw shounen and shoujo titles, it actually reveiws over 900 diffrent manga sereise
which (if I heard correctly) is every manga ever translated to english. So you will deffinatly be able to find whatever your looking for. I would deffinatlly recomend buying it.
I have heard dreamland Japan. Its somthing that I have often considerd buying. What authors and works dose it mention?
I liked Manga: Masters of the art. The author interveiws underground manga artists (including Suehiro Maruo). Most of the artists in the book arent available in english, but it's still a good read.
