This is probably the hardest thing I've ever read, and I don't think I can recommend it to the layman looking for an introduction to Gramsci's works. There's nothing wrong with the collection, or Gramsci's philosophy, both of which are fine, but its dense and hard work and needs more annotation to make it comprehensible to the beginner. That said, I found many bits stimulating and have dozens of pages turned over for further investigation. Make of that what you will!
I read the Prison Letters and some of his other work while doing my PhD, and cited much of it, but had to put it out of my thesis after it was ruled biased and out of the scope of my work, unfortunately. I thought it put much of my work on participatory decision-making in the emission of money into a broader context, but it was not my call.
