I found this at a comic book shop, and while for some it might be a blessing from the heavens, I regret to say that this pretty much yet another of those "fanservice with little (good) advice" books.
Besides, it encourages Sparkledogs. Seriously...

By any chance you're referring to this book?

Because good God, talk about a contrast! If the sneak peak is to be believed, it has the most disturbing mix of bland art and pictures taken from DeviantArt I've seen until now. At least the art on the book above had a stable artist.
I was tolerable about his earlier books; heck, I even learned a bit from the ones about CARTOONING, since that's his obvious forte. I even own one of the books about edgy comic book anatomy (http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Cutti.....ref=pd_sim_b21) because it's actually helpful.
I've never seen such blatant attempt to cash in from a fandom since his introduction of the how-to manga books...

I good book that I have is manga for the begginer http://www.amazon.com/Manga-Beginne.....687&sr=1-1 . This book not only teaches basics in scale and style, but it acutaly shows how one can make one's art look more profesional. That, and it has an amazing anthro section that doesn't show fanservice at all, just how to draw some basic ones.
