Between the Campaign Setting books and the ones for players there has to be about 70 or more. They've done a lot.

Depends on what you mean by setting books. For example they have a series of monster revisited books that are made for the setting but are generic enough to fit anywhere. Then they have some region books and then some other books that explore things in the great beyond or explore things like secret societies etc.

Thanks! I hadn't realized Paizo had put so much out for Golarion.
I have too many settings already
I always thought Golarion was a generic setting like any other (like a pastiche of Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms with some Mona and Jacobisms).
Then I started reading the Inner Sea book in a bookstore. Wow. The production values are awesome. The back story is decent, too. When the god Aroden died the place went to hell in a hand basket. Steaming Jungles with ruins of floating castles ruled by sentient apes? Wicked. Demon worshipers legitimized? Awesome. Arabia and Egypt (and the Mwagli Expanse, too) in a separate continent with a geography that makes sense? Oh yeah. High tech gone beserk? Yes, not my cup of tea, but it's in there. Mammoths, tigers, and bears? Oh my.
From my reading I am not loving the "happy places" like Andoran. I know why they included it, though, and cannot fault them for doing so.
Also, the gods seem a bit bland to me. Maybe they have more flavor if I read between the lines. More likely I am just bit jaded and one gods sounds the same as the next.
Golarion is not generic, just adaptable. As for buying it yet, I'm not sure yet.
How much Mythos is there? I know the Carrion Crown book 4 has some.

In no real order:
The Great Beyond.
The Darklands.
Guide to Korvosa.
Korvosa strikes me as being the new Waterdeep. I love how it's written up and would use this as a starting point for new campaigns fairly often I think.

Anyone know of any other information , plans for modules, etc... for the asian-like "oriental" portion of Golarian? (reminds me of the FR Kara Tur)
