I have a copy, I just bought it in Holland several years ago. As has been
said before, the book is mainly pictorial; I believe there are
illustrations in it from all JV novels. Also a lot of pictures from films
(early ones as well). Then there are a couple of articles, some of which
you may know already, a text by Wells, an interview with Verne. One
article I really liked was about solving the cryptogram of La Jangada,
although the method presented works only for the English version.
For short, a book worth having, although not of a very high 'scientific
standard'.

regards,
Garmt.
