It's really worth what I spent. It gives the basic ideas about what a drone is and to how to build a drone. Even beginners can easily understand the contents in the book. I would suggest people interested in drones to purchase this book

What I like in that book is learning new technologies and using it for future projects. It can be for drones or anything. But the thing is you can't make a project successful unless you know what technology you should use for that. The book is full of new things and grew my interest building a custom drone. I would definitely test all the projects and make a drone.
