A pretty good book :)
This book tells how to use Copic markers, and has some good ideas in it. It even gives advice for using the special airbrush system compatible with Copic markers. The section about paper wasn't really useful though because it talks about paper available in Japan, but most of it probably isn't available in the US. I found the coloring tips in this book useful. If you use Copic markers (or other art markers, I'm sure the rules are pretty much the same) I would recommend this as a how-to guide.
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.
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.
