I am a student of the LDS Temple Endowment, and this book provided invaluable quotations and materials that I was unable to find in print elsewhere.
Especially interesting to me was minutes detailing discussions between early Temple Presidents and the First Presidency about some debates points in how the Endowment was to be administered, including information about when and by whom the more descriptive "penalties" were removed from the ceremony.
A warning to conservative LDS - this book does show more not attempt to keep secret that which is sacred, it is very explicit in its details, but it is not an expose in the sense that it does not include anywhere close to a full transcript of the temple ceremonies. show less
