I also have a published history on my father's family but it was published in the early 1950's. From what I have been able to find so far, it is fairly accurate. So far I have gotten back to the 1200's and most of it agrees with the published version. My ancestry is mostly English, Irish and Scottish on my father's side. That may be why records are more accurate and easier to find.
