This one is a simple collection of Feynman's interviews and speeches, along with some stories from the other two books (Surely you're joking and What do you care what other people think).

Since Feynman gave the interviews and speeches independent of each other, and much before anybody thought to publish this kind of book, there is quite a bit of repetition.

Keeping that in mind, the net content of this book is pretty good and helps you learn more about the technical bits and about Feynman's approach to things.

If you've read the other 2 books focused on stories by Feynman, this book can be skimmed.
