      It is, in a sense, a transcript/book of a series of seminars (some private - between Medard Boss and Heidegger)  with students/colleagues of Boss at Boss’s home in Zollikon and the University of  Zurich. As time passed - Heidegger was a bit old - Boss and he communicated by letter and some of these are also included. It is an interesting book. Heidegger was, by all reports, a charismatic teacher and the book - as opposed to his published lectures - gives some indications of what this may have been like. I admit to being moderately excited when it was published (smile).

     People on this list tend to mention Being and Time (which Heidegger felt, in many ways, was a failed study) and that is fine. He wrote more than a few things which are important in their own right (depending on your interests). I find reading Heidegger a chore - and I’m not talking about Being and Time - because he says so many thought provoking things and I tend to bog down in retrospection (smile). 

     Martin says some important things about Heidegger the person in that Being and Time summary that need to be remembered when reading or quoting. As far as his summary goes, it is nice (Dreyfus has something similar, but less graphic). However, unless I am missing something, it seems to be a summary of, for the most part, Division I (which most people quote/read, by the way).

     So the simple answer to your questions is that you can originally access the Zollikon seminars in the book of that title. They are fairly readable.
