It's a decent book. I've seen other books of the same series on the Liebstandarte and Totenkopf. They are full of good pictures, but the text is not of the depth that I would have liked, nor does it contain many personal accounts.
James Lucas's "Das Reich" is better, IMO, although it doesn't paint a complete portrait of the division in any way (he skips completely over Oradour-sur-Glane). Between the Lucas book and information available online, you should be able to get a good understanding of 2.SS.
I'd like to pick up Weidinger's "DF" book one of these days, myself.
