If you are interested this is another good handbook but it doesn't specifically address hindrances to the level AB does.
Mindfulness with breathing by bhikku buddhadasa.

AB's book talks up to the level of the four immaterial attainments beyond the four rupa jhanas, which is something I haven't seen in many places, explained to such a great extent. Bhikku Buddhadasa does not go into that level of detail (I think the four immaterial attainments are not necessary to nibbhan according to suttas). He just mentions the four rupa jhanas and how to practice vipassana when emerging from them. However, he goes into detail of vipassana once the mind is concentrate with jhana. Therefore, I think it is useful to read both books.
Annotated data Deshy and FBM... Thanks a lot,
