I'd have liked to see at least a nodding reference to Mortimer Adler's classic, <i>How to Read a Book</i>. This isn't strictly a study guide, but that itself is a strength, in that Adler explicitly recognises <i>different types</i> of books and <i>different levels</i> of reading. Records transmit knowledge. Not all human knowlege is equally facilitated by explitic (spoken or written) transmission. Different domains and topics exercise different skills: memorisation in the case of history and a substantial portion of practice lore, structured knowledge in the case of most of the sciences, and what might be considered cerebral skills development in areas such as maths, logic, rhetoric, management, negotiation, sales tactics, and relationship management. These are learnt in different ways, and books play different roles in their education.
