how technical is Einstein's book on relativity?

Looking for opinions from anyone who has read The Meaning of Relativity. I collect books in fine bindings for my home library and found a very nice copy of The Meaning of Relativity on eBay below, but was wondering if a non-scientist would find it interesting. Or is it a bit too technical? If it's an interesting read, I think I'll bid on it.

I haven't read this, but happenchance heard it being discussed today on NPR. It was on their top ten list of most important scientific books. I don't remember where it ranked....

The immediate side comment was that it was by far the most readable of all of them. Apparently Einstein felt it was important to communicate to the "common man".

Based on that, and the price of the book, go for it.
