This book contains some real classics. The level is intermediate - I definately wouldn't recommend it to a beginner and I'd say it's best to have some experience playing fingerstyle as well.
As with most books of this kind, the accompanying CD is gives a good idea of the tunes but is far from inspiring (no dynamics or personality). That's my only criticism and I wouldn't say it's particularly important.

The reason for the title is that this is almost irish arrangement by numbers. There are plenty of varied tunes, airs to reels to jigs etc, but there is a sort of plodding-ness to it all. Some work better than others. On the whole I would recommend another book entirely - Mel Bays Complete Celtic Guitar, but this one works well enough. The tunes are not really difficult, and it would be a good book for a beginner trying to get to intermediate level.
Perhaps Mr Weiser has left the reader with the option of providing grace notes, and other ornamentations which make the Celtic Style so unique, because there's not much here.

The appeal of Celtic tunes for the guitar is something that interests many musicians and the volume of music from Glenn Weiser is a good choice for mid level players.
The notation is accurate and TAB is also useful to get the right fingerings for some of the more complex pieces. The CD is very useful if you are struggling with tempo and times.
Each tune has a few notes regarding it's source and pedigree. My favorite is the beautiful O'Carolan tune called "Blind Mary'.
