Can someone give me a review of this work?

As a student in comparative religion, I've considered purchasing this 5 volume set:

"Encyclopedia of Tantra"
by Sadhu Santideva
Hardcover: 1295 pages
Publisher: South Asia Books; 1 edition (February 1999)
ISBN: 8170208637
Amazon price: $395.00

I'm going to finish a major on a subject of my own choice in the field of Hindu Tantrism, so an encyclopedia like this could definitely come in handy. Problem is, I don't know anything about it (or the author for that matter). If anyone in these fora purchased this encyclopedia, could you please give me a pointer as to what it contains, or if it's any good? I've tried to google it, but I couldn't find anything that looked like a good review.

If you own it, or used it, please tell me what you think, and if it's worth the money. :roll:

(I know I can get it cheaper elsewhere, but nowhere below $130 + shipping).
