I picked  up a copy of it at Borders tonight .. looks great!
 
I find it to be a very solid account of the role that artillery played in  
the battle, using a detailed chronological narrative of the battle as its  
format.  I don't know for certain that the experiences of every battery  were at 
least touched upon, but I would not be surprised if that were the  case.  For my 
own part, I could wish that more background material  regarding the technical 
aspects were given (but, I am the sort of geek who keeps  copies of Gibbon's 
"Artillerist's Manual" and Benton's "Ordnance and Gunnery" on  his shelves).  
The maps are clear and numerous (as might be expected from  the author of "The 
Maps of Gettysburg").
