So has anyone read this book?

Is it worth having in the library?

It's a decent book about Japanese pop culture trends, though there's some pretty wrong Godzilla and Ultraman information. Definitely don't buy it for its tokusatsu content. Schilling is a professional journalist who writes for The Japan Times, however and IMO it's worth getting for its articles about anime and general pop trends.
