This book is thorough in its definitions, making clear the differences between utility, design, and plant patent drawings. Plant patent drawing is not covered due to the rarity of these type of inventions (plants). Utility and design patent drawings are covered in separate chapters. The sole appendix consists of two "tear-out" forms: Petition for Submitting Color Photographs or Drawings; Submission of Corrected Drawings. The index is better than average with extensive sub-headings for "Utility patent drawings" and "Design patent drawings."
One of the selling points of this book is that patent drawings can be expensive. I am going out on a limb here, but this book appears to be appropriate for someone who may wish to actually engage in patent drawing as a profession. At the very least, this would be a great introduction to the field. I can't address how lucrative this area of potential entrepreneurship would be, but this is your textbook.
