I think that some people are voting things off based on knee-jerk reactionism rather than thinking about the actual quality of the books. There's no way I would have ever voted Tome of Battle out before, say, any of the Fantastic Locations books. Not in a million years. I haven't even allowed any Tome of Battle stuff in my game, but it's a hell of a better candidate for book of the year than some corner-case Fantastic Locations. This isn't to say the Fantastic Locations are bad by any stretch of the imagination, they're just more niche. I find it hard to believe that a niche product could beat out a full-blown sourcebook with an entirely new set of mechanics and excellent production values for product of the year.</blockquote>
