I've been eyeballing that one on Amazon for a while but the price has me hesitant. If you pick it up, please let me know if it is worth it.

Hi! Glad I could be of help!
I managed to secure a copy and, whilst it's certainly over-priced, with NO pictures whatsoever, it's a very handy reference guide to have.
Essentially, it's a checklist of titles, with a very small amount of text devoted to the author(s) and well as a brief write-up of the general premise.
It's a shame there's not more critical analysis of the books themselves as Brad Mengel is an excellent writer and the 2 overview articles he's written for the book are very illuminating, if a little short.
It is hard to recommend wholeheartedly, purely because of the pricepoint but if, like me, you're fairly new to the genre and want an "all in one" guide, this is very useful - and don't forget, with these kind of books, once they're out of print they go for crazy money!!
