I concur. I read it on my Nook last week. It was fun to learn some of
the background on the many contesters I have worked over the years. It is
well written and, for me, hard to put down up to the dramatic finish. Jim
does a great job of describing the terms for non-hams and/or non-contesters.
I would recommend it.

One more recommendation for N3BB's book, Contact Sport.
Up until reading the book I was not very familiar with the WRTC. I knew
of its existence, but that was about it.
The book is written for a general audience. Basic terms are explained,
in addition to some background info.
I liked his writing style, not the easiest subjects to write about, but
it flows nicely. Read it in three sittings. I started Sunday morning,
after giving up on the CQ WPX CW contest.
Being old fashioned, I purchased the hardcover edition. Good quality
printing.
Thank you for the early reviews, which prompted me to order a copy.
No connection with the author, book publisher, or bookseller. Paid full
price for my copy.
