Researching Zendikar

I'm leaning towards Zendikar for the next D&D adventure. Now is the time for research into the world; probably the longest process for me. Gotta be well-versed in the lore, the setting, the major places / people / cultures etc. 

From what I can gather, there are only two spots I know of to find Zendikar lore:

1) Planeswalker's Guide to Zendikar and the Savor the Flavor articles in between them.

2) The book Zendikar: In the Teeth of Akoum, which I hear is terrible.

I'm seriously tempted to get the book for research purposes, but the reviews say it's really, really bad. Decisions!
