Why are these books always focused on a fast learning principle? I really don't think anything useful can be made from 90 minutes of quick reading. It's a great refresher for people that didn't work with the language for a while. Now I remember python's annoying indents.

Its potentially valuable for anyone who needs to do some quick work in Python. There are quite a lot of little Python scripts I work with, even though I mostly do Ruby. I don't need (nor do I want to) become a Pythonista just to make some edits now and again.
