Don't know if you will find it worth the trouble when you get hold of it.
I read it earlier this year after extensive posts about it in
sci.anthropology.paleo. There is also a more recent book by Morgan, the
title of which momentarily escapes me, which involves a slightly more
dressed up version of her arguments.

Essentially they seem to me to have about the same amount of validity (and
use a similar type of rargument) as Von Danicken's arguments in Chariots
of the Gods etc, that earth was actually settled by beings from outer
space!
