Hadn't seen the paperback cover design before - it's far better than the hardcover design for the same book.
I too was given this as a gift, but never really gave it a fair shot - maybe having already read The Phish Book by Richard Gehr and the band and also The Phishing Manual by Dean Budnick, what I saw retread a bunch of what I had already read before, and the writing didn't exactly impress. (I highly recommend the first book, by the way)
Maybe I should give it another shot to see what it says about 2.0 and the dawn of 3.0. The books I linked came out in '99 and '96, so there's a good bit of history not covered by those. But I think when I tried reading those in Puterbaugh's book I felt I already had an understanding of those events just because I was paying close attention to the band during those times.
By far my favorite- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0375502033/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467817195&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=the+phish+book&dpPl=1&dpID=51BJ5A3KZ9L&ref=plSrch

Is it this book?
I really liked this one.
