I'll do you one better; here's the sidebar on page 33:

"Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Kostchtchie: Prince of Wrath," in Dragon issue #345, covers that pretty well.

Yeah, that was the third book.

I just polished off The Gate of the Feral Gods, the fourth book of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and I'm happy about how it seems to be a return to form for the series. Mostly. I kind of outsmarted myself here, having picked this one up in ebook format at the same time as the previous book...

This is somewhat tangential (and specific) to what you were saying, but things like that remind me of 3.5's Magic Item Compendium. For the most part, I loved that book. Yes, it had several pages of errata fixing specific instances of its central conceit (i.e. the prices of magic items) but its...

I just finished The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook, which is book three of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I enjoyed this one, but felt like the bloom was beginning to come off of the rose somewhat. The author, Matt Dinniman, seemed to get a little too caught up in explaining the...

Which is notable when you recall the fact that much of said missing content was held back deliberately in order to help boost sales of subsequent books.

I just finished reading Lee Child's 1998 novel Die Trying, the second book in his Jack Reacher series. I mentioned a few months ago that I'd picked up a Jack Reacher book out of a Little Free Library in my neighbor's front yard, and decided to move this one up in my queue (mostly so that I...

I think that there's an inherent design strength to the binder's having thematic packages of abilities (i.e. vestiges) that can be swapped out on a regular basis. Leaving aside the versatility involved, this makes it easier to note which vestiges have design problems, and so can be dealt with in...

This grossly mischaracterizes this edition's attitude, which is entirely themed around "you don't need a rule for this, just have your character do it," while telling GMs that they should bend over backwards to accomodate their players, on top of making it even harder for PCs to fail at things...

Sure, I also recommended having more sections of advice for GMs; I think that's a good thing. I'm just against trying to hard-code rules around things that GMs can't do, is all. That way lies little benefit and much potential for problems. The idea that "evolution = improvement" isn't...
