I must have read a different book to the previous reviewer! I found it full of helpful, kind advice. I bought it when I had my little boy and didn't notice it being particularly gender biased. What she does say is that you can encourage traits in your child - little boys are often good at puzzles - make sure you give your daughter puzzles too! Little girls tend to be more interested in books - make sure you read to your son!
As with most aspects of childcare, as everyone's child is an individual (makes the world a more interesting place that we're all that way), you have to pick and choose the advice that best suits your style, your inclination and your offspring! I'm not a Gina Ford fan - but that doesn't mean I've not found things in her books that have been useful; particularly when my daughter arrived and I had to deal with two.
I would recommend this book - it covers a vast area of ground - but I wouldn't say it was the ONLY one I'd want on my bookshelf.

What a great book. Our son is 16 months old now, and this book has been a source of important information since he was born. We are living in Australia, so family advice is not easy to come by. 'Aunty Miriam' as she is called in our house, is always at the ready. No matter what the scenario (food, illness, play, routine, etc), there is always a matching article in this book, providing reassurance and comfort that you - as 'new parent' - are on the right track.
