I assume they'll have the half dozen or so spells from each of the race books, too.But still, the point remains: These are brand new books that just came out, not out of print or hard to find materials. People buying a book at one end of 2005 are also the same people, much of the time, buying a book at the other end of 2005. A large percentage of the book -- and we can quibble on percentages, since we don't know, and because every customer will be different -- seems likely to be material the people already have in brand new books.In contrast, "Eldritch Sorcery" is reprinting spells 5, 10, 20, 25 years old. Many readers will never have seen the original books, much less have converted them forward from Carter Administration era D&D and AD&D to 3.5.Most of those don't. Three spells from here, four from there. (And once you take out the Ghostwalk-specific ghost type spells from "Ghostwalk," we're left with a VERY small amount of portable spells.) It just doesn't seem likely that most of the spells will be from these smaller assortments. Given the size of the book, it's going to HAVE to draw on "Complete Arcane" and "Complete Divine" in large part, which the people who are most interested in spells have gotten, since they're only a year or so old.I'm sure it's of worth to a few people. I just think it'd be worth a lot more if it came out two years from now, when the big books of spells were further in the past and more books with a few spells had come out.I hope it's not mostly CA/CD spells. If it turns out not to be, I'm a pretty good candidate to pick it up. But I seriously doubt it can be anything else.</blockquote>
