Starting Out: King's Indian (Starting Out): The King's Indian (Starting Out - Everyman Chess)
The title of the book is Starting Out and that is what it does..Starts you out....
This was the first Opening book on a specific opening that I have ever read, and I am very happy both with the information in the book and the writing style of the author.

no target audience
While this book does, as other reviewers note, explain the ideas of the King's Indian in an accessible way, the author clearly has no idea of the conditions under which club players play openings.

How opening books should be written
Most players, until they are rated at least 1800 , should only own a general chess opening reference book to use as a reference.
