What reading level is Semiosis As a Theory of Aesthetics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

While we could argue about whether Peirce has Hegel right, it seems sufficient here to say that Firstness and Secondness have some kind of independent nature and are not suited simply to be taken up into the realm of Thirdness. Before the distinction we are trying to make can possibly be clear, it is necessary to realize the various uses which Peirce assigned the category of Thirdness, as well as the categories of Firstness and Secondness. We have already used one; Firstness as ego; Secondness ...as non-ego; Thirdness as the uniting of the two (1.332ff). But we also have Thirdness characterized as Law, Mind, Thought, etc. The idea of law is the easiest of the three to grasp. It is law, order, that relates the Quality to the other. But the concept of Mind and Thought as Thirdness seems at first glance to contra- dict either Firstness or the triadic relationship. Peirce has already identified Firstness as Consciousness, so how can Thirdness be mind?
The easiest way to answer this is to once again make reference to Cassirer's groundwork.
