As one who was being cross trained from RF engineer to Broadcast and then to assist with studio design work, I found the book to be quite accessible. If you want to, you can just use the given designs in the front for ideas or use them wholesale. The back part of the book presents a more detailed scientific picture especially of key construction details such as windows and the advantages/disadvantages of wall construction techniques.
I found myself studying and adapting the material in the back to the situations I face, which usually are retrofits of spaces not purposely designed for audio in 2nd and 3rd world environments. As others have noted its not the be all and end all of acoustics, just a practical primer, but it does provide the necessary information to create a passable recording space for less demanding applications. If you need top end specifications, get a good engineering house behind you, if not this book will be a lot of help and a good starting point.

This book is useless if you already own "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" by the same author. However as the title suggests it's all about being on a budget, which it explains fairly well. If you are building a projects studio in your house for example..this is a must read.
