The book fails to explain the concepts of NL and PL in a rather obvious way:
A. It doesn't cover betting schemes. It doesn't tell you when (and why) to make a min-raise, when to bet half the pot, when to bet 2/3, potsize or all-in.
B. It doesn't explain the difference in pre-flop selection between NL and PL.
Last but not least, it's not a book in the traditional sense, it's a collection of essays.

Guess you didn't read too carefully, since each and every topic you mention is discussed (although I don't think the authors ever advocate a min raise, which is fine).

There is a difference between vaguely mentioning something in two to three sentences and analysing it deeply. For me everything in this book is written way too superficial.

The basic stuff is superficial because Bob assumes you know it. They go into more detail on concepts that the average person who knows how to play OK already might be interested in.
