What's it about?
A book that illustrates the anatomy of strength training, showing you which muscles are used in different exercises.
Who's it for?
People that are in the novice/intermediate category of strength training and would like to better understand the exercise they're doing. Though experienced lifters can also learn from this.
PROS
Incredible Illustrations.
Really helps you learn what exercises target which muscles. You'll learn muscles you didn't know about.
Has great tips and information about common injuries and how to avoid them
The book is broken down clearly into main muscle groups.
5 stars on Amazon
CONS
The only drawback is that the book doesn't actually tell you what particular muscles functions are, or their origins and insertions. It's just about the exercises.
Final thoughts
It's a great book, very interesting to see the under the hood of the human body and how what you're doing in the gym utilizes your muscles.

Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe also does this to an extent with his routines. It is my most recommended book to people who want to start in the gym.
