Um... just wondering: if the book is written by Michael Varhola, why is it called "Gary Gygax's Nation Builder"?

Won't be the first time one of the Gary Gygax series hasn't been written by Gary Gygax. I believe they call it marketing.

Sounds very cool... I am looking forward to getting this.

Gary is the series editor, oversees each of the books, and none of them go to print without his approval. Putting "Gary Gygax's" before the title is no different than "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Whether he is or is not the sole author is made obvious to the reader on the front cover, so it's not as if they're trying to dupe anybody. He is very much involved with all aspects of the series.

quite a bit of difference though in saying Gary Gygax presents as opposed to Gary Gygax's. One indicates possessiveness, the other indicates a seal of approval.
