Pros and cons

Pros

The stated coverage of all 266 popes makes the book relevant as a broad papacy reference rather than a biography of a single pontiff.
The long historical span and inclusion of selected teachings extend its scope beyond a simple list of popes.
Screen-reader support and Word Wise are listed for the Kindle edition.

Cons

The listing describes a substantial 1,421-page reference, which may be more than readers wanting a short introduction need.
