No, but I would like to know about a product ... or a person ... before I become interested in it. It does not have to be about sales.

Well, people may be put off (or turned on) by your avatar, which may or may not be the true representation of you.
"Don't judge a book by its cover."
Trust me, as long as the cover is not half or full nudity, I can look past that.

You need look no further than Enworld's Reviews Site for loads of comments on the good and the bad of AP products. [/enworldplug]
I just looked at several of their covers, and I gotta go with Dragongirl on this one, they seem a bit tasteless. As has been commented, there is just no need for such pictures, and in several cases they have little to do with the product.
I'm not particularly offended by scantily clad women on covers in general, but there's a difference between the 1e AD&D DMG's cover and the "Doom of Odin" (for example)
In fact the only one I saw that didn't have such a cover was The Last Days of Constantinople, which I would like to get by the look of it. However, it's not a mini setting.

I looked through the piracy one and the book seemed to really gloss over all of the topics quickly without covering anything in depth enough to be useful. I didn't feel that there were adequate naval rules, nor adequate help with running the low/no magic of the setting, nor enough historical background. It looked like a bunch of scattered bits and pieces, but not enough to pull together as a complete product that you could use to run a pirate campaign. Was my first impression wrong? If not, is this the exception or the norm for Avalanche books?

Dragongirl, I liked the "dragon-girl" morphy thing. It still looked cool.
And as far as the Avalanche books go, I have a few. Its hard to find d20 accessaries that are willing to address different cultures, so that's why I bought them. However, I'm with Horacio. The pictures seem a bit silly, but I just look past them.
Isn't this topic covered extensively in the "d20 Publishers" section?

Anyway, back to the topic.blackshirt5 said:
Aztecs has one review by Simon Collins 2 out of 5.
Arabian has none.
Celtic has one 2 by Simon Collins and a 5 by Goldfish.
No idea who Goldfish is, but I generally agree with Simon Collins, and he does not appear to think there is anything special with at least 2 of these.
