Some time ago I came across this author's excellent ,a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/815231.Mining_the_Sky">Mining the Sky, so I was keen to read his latest work on asteroid mining. This book I found rather harder to get into, at least so far as readability goes. Unlike it's predecessor, this book has a much narrower focus on asteroids rather a broader look at resources in the solar system as a whole, and the content is rather dry, being full of facts ad figures and details of spectral classes of different objects.
That said, there is a wealth of excellent information here for anyone who is seriously contemplating asteroid mining, or who wants to write a hard SF story in that setting. For most others, this would be a lot less engaging.
