Great Content Review 
I am just another voice adding my opinion to an already well reviewed book. I bought this book and ran through it pretty quickly to prepare for the general exam. It is laid out fairly well (not by question set though) and the pool in the back is great. The book boasts detailed question explanations which it does, just not right next to the question. Each question references the page number in the book which has the information relating to the question. So, it references where you can find the answer but does not explain each individual question separately. However, there is another book put out by the arrl I think that does that, the Q&A general book. I like this book because I want to learn how to be a better operator and not just how to pass a written multiple choice exam. Anyways, great book and amazon has had it on sale for some time now, so pick it up and upgrade, you will be glad you did. With a little work, you could upgrade in a few weeks tops.

Best of the Exam Cram Books
I used the ARRL book for my General - as the only study source, as I wanted to actually know the material, not just memorize answers. I nailed the exam, with 1 wrong. That's not to suggest that that's the only way to pass the exam, but it is a comment on the quality of the material. It is well laid-out, taking the reader through a nice progression of topics and a nice progression from basic to more difficult concepts. I also find that the manual is nice to keep on hand as a reference.

Good reference book for getting your General License
If you are going for your General License, you need this book. After you have passed, it becomes a great reference tool.

The only book you will need
I just passed the General test using only this book and an exam site online. Same question pool but it was just easier to read the questions online instead of flipping through the book.
Read the book cover to cover. Stop and answer the questions when prompted. Don't move on until you understand the material. Review the question pool over and over. Done.
Please don't just memorize the questions in the book and take the test. You are just hurting yourself and other Ham's who understand the hobby. But I digress...
This book covers every topic necessary to pass the test. The is the second tier of Ham license and the book does expect you to know the basics of amateur radio as well as have a good grasp of basic electronics and electronic theory. It hits heavily on radio wave propagation, electric principles, circuit components and antennas. The intent in my opinion is to really make sure you won't screw up once you start hitting HF bands and start using the higher end equipment.
Buying this for the test is a no-brainer.
The test was much harder than the Technician test but if you study and understand the material presented in the book you will pass easily.
