Yeah, that book's a classic. Alexandra David-Neel also has a nice written account of coming across a lung-gompa in her one book. There are also some on this list who have witnessed them.

One book I found wonderful years ago is called Way of the White Clouds by Lama 

Anagarika Govinda - he was a Westerner who was Buddhist and spent a good deal of time 

in Tibet in the 1930's and 40's as I recall.  He witnessed the lung-gom-pa runners and 

reports on the wonderful art and traditions beore the Chinese came in.  I think his wife 

was specialist on Tibertan art and so they travelled from monastery to monastery to see 

and record the art.
