This is a fairly small, short book, but it's packed with lots of helpful information. It goes through what you should wear on your interview, how to behave with the receptionist or front desk person, what to bring with you, and other details that someone who's never had a job interview might need to know. My favorite part, though, was the list of possible questions the interviewer might ask. After going through most of them, I felt a lot more prepared, and the interviewer actually asked some of the ones I rehearsed. Not having read this book beforehand would have been like not having studied for a test--I might have known some of the answers, but certainly not as many and not as well. So...read this book!
