It's a reasonable book for the layman - won't give you a real good
grounding, though, for that you perhaps have to start with one of
the numerous introductions to language and linguistics. Bloomfield's
Language and Lyon's Theoretical Linguistics are getting a bit long in
the tooth, but Bollinger's Aspects of Language is still a reasonable
choice. I once even came across A Teach Yourself Linguistics book ;-).
Oh, and Describing Language... by Graddol et al is very usable, too:
published by the Open University Press - I guess that that's the best
book for the beginning conlanger.
But by all means buy the Encyclopeadia, you will never regret it.

don't think i can even classify it... yet. heh heh :)
