Yes, this is a 'tribute' work. The best material in it are conversations/prose correspondance with Moore himself, in which he expounds (at length and very very entertainingly) about his interests in such concepts as magic, storytelling, the comics industry, meme theory and his research for From Hell).
However, the rest is of varied qulaity and sit unsure next to each other - comic strip biographies next to silly but fun cartoons next to academic reviews next to personal reminisces (some of which are deadly dull and revolve around what a nice man Mr Moore is to share a drink with, one of which comes scarily near to shattering all your preconceptions of the man as nice gent)next to bizaree short stories obsessed with referencing every single Moore comic.
Hardly an essential item by any means, it does provide a good read and some nice new artwork of Moore charcaters... but don't expect anything comprehensive or definitive.
If you're expecting me to cite my favourite contributions you are wrong: too many and too beautiful, and right now I can only remeber one of those that Moore will appreciate more: Will Eisner's one!
In a few words: a must-read for all Moore's fan over the globe, buy it and you won't be disappointed.
P.S.: I was almost forgetting to say that in the end of the volume there is a complete bibliography, which can be considered a stand-alone motivation to buy it.
