I'm reading it right now (it has a few sections on numerals, as you might imagine). I'd agree with the analysis that it is pretty superficial (especially for a Cambridge book) but I haven't spotted anything ridiculously incorrect yet. It reminded me of you because it has material on clocks, windmills, and spectacles, and because it begins with a discussion of the connection between Temperance and depictions of new inventions.
