The interview questions for Brad are priceless, particularly the emergency Fry's Electronics run when the epic lack of spindles hit. (I was on LJ for that. Were you on LJ for that?) I think the entries were chosen well, and there were a few times I had to stop reading because I was laughing too hard.
All the submissions are credited, dated, and/or linked such that you can visit the original entries on LJ if you wish. (Brad's answers to the interview questions do not appear on LiveJournal; you'll have to buy the book or read over someone's shoulder to find out what it was like for him to work with his mom.)
The book is gorgeous, with lots of pretty pictures and shiny color.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this book to anyone with serious eye trouble, as some of the pages are printed with very little contrast between the background and the text. On LJ proper, ?style=mine would fix that issue up a treat, but that sadly isn't available for paper.
