Take a look at the description of all the sleights, tricks and routines that are on the DVD:
http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=1581If you don't have a lot of material covered in the DVD mastered yet, then I would heartily recommend the In The Beginning DVD before getting Bobos MCM. Better yet, order both because Bobos is a great resource and it's only $10.
The DVD shows each sleight in greater detail than what is written in Bobos. You can't see the rhythm, angles and subtlety from a book nor can you hear the patter in sync with the moves. Jay slowly repeats each move several times so it is a great introduction to how they look once polished. Jay performs each routine for real people which gives you more insight on performing the routines.
Follow up with Bobo's MCM and it will provide you with a wealth of material.

He meant the Modern Coin Magic DVD set, not the book.
But I'd have to disagree. It's not true to say that you can't learn the moves in Bobo's (book) without Jay's DVD. I actually believe it would be better to buy the book first, and if you REALLY think you need a visual guide, get ITBTWC. But it won't change the amount of practice you have to put into coins.
