The site is very confusing to me. Nowhere I see tangible information about a "real" book, e.g. a free PDF chapter, a table of content. Only the Amazon listing revealed a bit more, but has also no free preview.

Probably yes if you have learned programming starting with procedural languages. There is a steep learning curve in the beginning but even if you will not use APL for "normal" projects, the way an array programming language makes
