I noticed this book at the local camera shop when I was dropping off a couple of rolls for processing. Didn't have time to look through it. Is this a must-have as a collectible or for the information inside?

Must have? If it's interesting to you it could be. Collectible is awfully subjective.

I'm not familiar with the book but if the subject matter interests you and the price is right (i.e., cheap) then by all means go for it. If you're at all hesitant about the price, then leave it behind. And if you go back six months or a year from now and it's still there and they've marked it way down to get rid of it, then you'll know it was worth the wait.
