What would you say is the level of the book? I am intrigued by your enthusiasm, but I think I'd be wasting my time if I went reading an introductory book.

Introductory. I don't have a particularly formal background in discrete math or ML, but I was able to absorb most of the content.

I'd say it's introductory, up to the chapter it discusses SVMs. Than it becomes incomprehensible, unless you have prior knowledge of SVMs and kernel methods.
