The 101 exercises aren't arranged in an obvious progression. In other words, they don't necessarily get progressively harder from one to the next. Instead, there is an index at the start of the book, where you can search for an exercise based on the technical focus or focuses that you would like to work on.
You can of course, simply start from the first exercise and work your way through. There is also an audio example of every exercise.

Open Chords Made Easy is a book that breaks down every part of playing rhythm guitar, using open chords. There are two main sections to this book: The lessons and the pieces of music.

You will learn about pulse, subdivision and how to strum by understanding these concepts. The lessons also focus on how to play chords and how to read the pieces of music in the book.
The pieces of music are duets. Each duet has a chord part, which is the focus of this book - being able to read the chord charts and strum along. The lead guitar parts are also included, for those who wish to learn them.
If you have ever struggled to strum rhythmically or have felt frustrated with the vague nature of chord charts, this book is for you.
