Plenty of good stuff. Got bogged down in some of the textual arguments, but the history of exegesis is the best part (and reason I wanted to read this). I wish he had spent more time dealing with the theological arguments of the Sethite-interpretation, he seemed a bit dismissive of some of their arguments. Ultimately I disagreed with his conclusion but found it informative nonetheless.
Unfortunately, this book retails at about $200 so it prices this outside of the grasp for most laymen. I was able to read a copy via my alma mater's library. The greatest value that I got from this was the history of exegesis chapter, which contains a good deal of information, but you can get a summarized form of the same information here: https://www.robibradshaw.com/chapter5...
