I find that books (and art in general) are done one of two ways - to appeal to nerds and insiders, or to have a broader appeal.
Comic book nerds are a hardcore bunch, and this book was written for them.
Unfortunately for the sake of enjoyment of this book, my hardcore comic nerdity ended when I got to high school. While I appreciated some of the book's nuances, a lot of it was understood while not fully appreciated (the styles between the different illustrators, for example).
Still, it was kind of fun to read about the rivalry.
