Trading for a living isn't for the faint of heart
I think a beginner has to start somewhere and this is a good book to read. I would say you shouldn't read too many trading books.
The reason I say this is Traders trade and writers write. Most of the books available are a mishmash of nonsense.
I have been a professional trader for over thirty years and things change and are changing faster all the time. So any book you read is dated from the get go. This is a hard profession not for the faint of heart. Discipline is one of the hardest things to control. You must have a method and I always say to people TTT test trust and then trade. Then does your method fit your personality. Do you have enough money and time to begin and stay, risk of ruin is always there.
I think the most important books I have read are Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, How to make money in Stocks, and Trade your way to financial freedom. But this is a good book for beginners.
Buy with caution, take your time, becoming a pro takes time and perseverance.
Just remember Luck has nothing to do with trading and the markets don't give a damn if you win or lose, only you do!
