Being a native Kentuckian, I had heard of the mysterious clairvoyant from the western part of the state since middle school - mostly because I worked at a local bookstore and there were several books devoted to Edgar Cayce on the shelves. They were moderately popular and I was not the least bit interested in reading about him. That was many years ago.
A few months ago, I stumbled upon an old, worn paperback about Cayce among many other books that we adopted after the passing of an extended family member. I nearly pitched it - but did not. I decided to see what I could learn about Cayce and what, if anything, he had to do with The Dead Sea Scrolls. The bottom line? Cayce led an interesting life and spawned a huge following which continues today in the form of the "Association for Research & Enlightenment" in Virginia Beach, VA. I cannot say anything about his prophetic giftings other than that I am extremely skeptical.
What I did learn about, in excruciating detail, was the discovery of The Dead Sea Scrolls. The author did a passable job making their history understandable and interesting. If nothing else, a quick read of the book will leave you with a better understanding of the Scrolls and their authors, the Essenes.
Should you read the book? If it lands in your stack at the local used bookstore for under a dollar, then perhaps. But I certainly would not spend much money for a copy of go out my way to find one.

Dead Sea Scrolls
Every time I read Edgar Cayce, I get more of an insight to Jesus, Essences, and the time Jesus lived in. This book pretty shows you these people lived, waiting for the Messiah and how much they protected the scriptures. Very good read, I recommend this book, read it in just a few days.

The first pages are about the dead sea scrolls. The rest looks like a rambling without any point or meaning.

Good book. Interesting person Edgar Cayce was. I will be keeping this one for reference on The Essenes as this is all I know of them. I'd never heard of them before this book.

Still a keeper for my collection as it is quite interesting and oddly enough, educational as well. It has inspired me to find more books about Edgar Cayce and his readings.

Interesting read but mainly focuses on the Edgar Cayce life reading as they relate to early Christianity and the life of Jesus. There isn’t too much of the dead sea scrolls text that is reviewed, just a cursory comparison of the readings and what the scrolls reveal.

my book is copyrighted 1970 and i'm too lazy to figure out how to add it to the list of choices.

He contradicted himself several times (or whatever it was speaking thru him).
