The book has a bunch of great problems modeling competition topics that wouldn't commonly be seen in other textbooks, but the wording of the problems is a bit confusing since it is a translated text. Also, a lot of the stuff in the book isn't even covered in physics olympiads, but the topics that are have good practice problems that you can do alongside other materials.
