Summary: Very relevant
Comment: These are the conference proceedings of the 1983 Second Valencia International Meeting on Bayesian Statistics. Many papers on all aspects of applying Bayesian methods were presented. The topics include temporal coherence, probabilities of nuclear war [!, sic], multiparameter Bayesian inference, undetected errors and survey sampling.

Also, the book has more than some other conference writeups that you may be familiar with. Here, the discussion session after each paper was presented is cogently summarised. So more than just a formal set of papers. You can get a feel of the ideas and research prospects.

Some of you might say that a 20 year old text is outdated. Well, maybe in some fields. But in mathematics, usually results are rarely outrightly refuted. Plus, on the subject of statistics, one might see an extra effect. Papers can become more useful with time, as computing keeps getting vastly cheaper, since the tedious gruntwork of gathering and crunching data falls. So methods can become more powerful.
