I don't know about the book but from an interview I saw of him he seems like the kind of guy that you could learn very well from by observing him (and getting him to play it slow of course), but he couldn't explain it very well in words at all.
Or maybe my memory is just muddy ...
But yeah check Youtube for video interviews, it might help get an idea what the book might be like.
I have it, and while I abhor Billy's tone, his inventiveness is really just neverending. He makes a good teacher and has great ideas for exercises and different sounds- but he's also very quick to establish that most bass playing doesn't necessitate all the flashy stuff he does, so pick and choose what to incorporate into your style carefully. I feel I spent my money well on it.

Great stuff. I keep watching those videos again and again, and every time I see something new. Don't forget that Billy is very talented, very innovative and is a very experienced bass player in general.
