Has anyone read "The ANA Centennial Anthology"?

This book is edited by Carl Carlson and Michael Hodder, from 1991, and is 372 pages. It seems to be a collection of 29 mostly original papers written by Eric Newman, Michael Hodder, Bob Julian, Ken Bressett. John Adams, Walter Breen and others to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ANA. Has anyone read this book and is it worth getting?

    I've read it but it's been awhile. If I didn't have a copy I'd buy one, but then I'm a bibliophile.

    Buy it or check it out from the ANA library . . . it's a good read.

    I concur with both conder and Lane--it's a book worth reading. There is also an ANA 100th anniversy book by Bowers that contains the histroy of the ANA. I found that book also extremely interesting and recommend it, too.

    Buy the anthology first. If you like it, then get the other 100th anniversary books.

    Thanks for the replies. I got it for a song on Ebay.
