Still, mustn't be churlish. It stands up to reading if you're seeking out particular information or an overview of all the operas that is more substantial than in the New Grove or other focused works on the author.
Make sure you get the 2007 second edition. As Osborne notes in his introduction, it is almost a new book in many ways given the advances of Rossini scholarship in the 25 years since the first edition.
