Default Mark Spector Book, "The Battle of Alberta"

This book just came out and I am wondering if anyone has bought/read it. Wanted to know if it was worth a read. I'm not the biggest fan of Spector but I do enjoy some good hockey history.

So I chose The Battle of Alberta, for two reasons. One, it was a fascinating, seminal time in hockey history, when the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames represented the Clarence Campbell Conference in eight consecutive Stanley Cup finals. It encompassed the greatest players in the history of the game — Wayne Gretzky, Doug Gilmour, Mark Messier — in a time when the game was not nearly as structured or predictable as it is today. And secondly, a lot of, er, stuff happened in The Battle – and a lot of funny stuff.
