Initial Impressions: My first reaction was to the "by the author of 50 places fo play golf before you die" on the cover. Now call me a cynic, but I'm already suspecting that the author is in this for the money rather than his love of sailing.
It's actually quite a nice coffee table book / spare bedroom fodder in terms of size and presentation. I'd have liked to have seen a few more pictures
I think the selection of the top 50 cruising grounds is a tricky challenge (though obviously less tricky than say the top 10) that being said he and his band of mercenary-contributors haven't done a bad job with the selection. The actual content is where the whole thing starts to fall apart. Having sailed in some of the places mentioned, I didn't find that the magic is really conveyed to the reader.
