Good But Not Beginner
The title says Beginner. I think it is a little too advanced for that title. Each pose has one diagram. However, each pose goes through several positions. Multiple diagrams would have been helpful. Evelyn Turner has a better book for stretching exercises (also found on Amazon.)

I like this book, I don’t ever have time for a class or go to a studio, so mind you I am self taught and practice when I can in my home. This book is great because I can use it to reference in my practice. The pictures ar helpful too!
