Yep, just whizzed through the volume this weekend. It's a nice little book although at just 64 pages it is never going to be more than a highlights package of Hergé's life.
So you get all the key points that we know so well from books and from this forum, but not a huge amount of analysis. I suppose it reads more like the graphic equivalent of a Sunday-supplement magazine profile.

Worth getting but don't expect to learn anything new.

Thanks George. I've read that the original graphic novel was about 54 pages in length. Does this printing have supplemental material?

There's a note inside the front cover that states: "A slightly abridged version of this book was originally published in English in Drawn & Quarterly Volume 4 (2001)" [ten years already!!] and without comparing I'd guess that the difference in a number of new pages rather than that increase being made up by counting the supplements.

There are actually 62 pages of story here plus two pages of biographical notes - so not enough of the latter to account for any pagination differences alone.
