I read this when it came out after going to several Product School events in San Francisco. It's a nice introduction to the world of product management for those who are new to it. It's informative, but not necessarily practical.
Product management isn't a brand new field (retail companies have had product and product portfolio managers for a long time), but this book was on trend for when software product management became a fast-growing and well-paid discipline in the US. It's good, but I wouldn't call it a classic as the field evolves so fast and it's hard to keep up.
My version felt a bit repetitive, had some spelling mistakes and contained some strange claims that distance PMs from the people they're supposed to work with and reinforce stereotypes. To paraphrase, engineers are almost seen as a kind of a curiosity and necessary evil to projects.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and found the topics the book covers interesting. The biggest issue that I have with this book is the number of grammatical errors. There are a lot of misspellings as well as incorrect labels used on some of the charts and graphics.
