I have recently completed reading the download version of the well-known book.
I found the coverage of the Buddha's life story interesting, although I had read many accounts of his 'main' life previously.
I found the brief references to the Buddha's former lives during the lives of other Buddhas informative, also.
What I would have liked to have read is the COMPLETE assemblage of ALL tales, however. Many of the stories referred to as 'Jataka' are obviously hidden in some other book, as this one ends with 'and now we will tell the stories of all his births...' but no further stories are present.
For those interested, the book is a free download sited at buddhistbirth00daviuoft.pdf
