I can include myself in the list of people that love the book. I remember
reading it the first time and after a few months i improved almost 200 points
ELO, went from class C to class A at my local chess club. Maybe it's a best
choice for beginners but not for strong players. I also recommended it for
almost all my chess students (at any age).

I must admit some of Nimzo's concepts are out dated, but it is an important book
in a "historical approach" to reading chess books.
