I don't have this book, but my understanding is that most of the information it contains is unsourced, to put it mildly.
Please let us know your thoughts when you get around to read it.
Ok I did read it this weekend - although there is not much to read, it consists largely of listings. To make a long story short: In my opinion, the author forfeits all credibility by mixing proven facts with rumors, hearsay and (most likely) fabrications. The book, which is now almost 20 years old, also contains many errors - probably not just from today's perspective. The book seems to be only suitable for research purposes on the topic of "One Too Many Rumors"...
