Jon's book is much better.
OD&M has two key elements:
(1) game history
(2) accounts of his personal campaign experiences
OD&M has too much of #2 and not enough of #1.
The author does talk about wandering the streets of Lake Geneva and finding the old office building where TSR was. Kind of neat, but not earth-shattering stuff.
I bought it from B&N at 20% off and with a gift card, so I got it essentially for nothing. It was worth that but I'd hate to buy it at regular prices.
