7 Eleven Book, Worth Getting?

I was a big fan of the team when they came out, I'm wondering if this is worth picking up? Any good stories about the team in the book? anyone have a review on it? thanks in advance.

If all you want is a feel-good chest-thumping hagiography, it's the ideal book

TBH, you'd be better off with the Davis Phinney book
