More Gods?
I just hope the new Gods aren't goofballs called Snuffy Fartpants, God of Gnomish Windbreakers or Dwarf Stonedwarf, God of Stone Dwarves. And I wonder if Gruumsh just sees all of these new "gods" as more grist for his butt-kicking mill? Something tells me that everytime new gnomish gods are created, all the other gods get together and destroy them forcing WotC to
create more gnomish gods and the cycle starts all over again.

The books sounds like it might have some worth while stuff in it, but probably not much use for my particular homebrew, mostly because it is pseudo post apocalyptic technomagical campaign. I do find it annoying that gnomes are always treated as happy-go-lucky tricksters and dwarves as gruff but kind stalwart warriors. Fantasy stereotyping can be as deadening to creativity as any other.
This is why my dwarves and gnomes are completely different, each having barely survived the apocalypse and come out culturally very changed. Dwarves learned the value of cooperation, they are masters of working together and getting things done with a team (they can even work with folks they personally dispise). Which is why dwarves fill the ranks of the Federation Ministries (the only "civilized government" on the world).
And gnomes have become ultra paranoid conspiracy theorists and black marketeers. Think mafia family organized ferengi on crack, who ALWAYS keep their word, but the LETTER, rather than the spirit. "After shaking hands with a gnome to close a deal, always count your fingers. Even if you find them all there, cast dispel magic and count again."

I dunno about you all but I read the reviews and the stuff on this board and I think I will give it a try and get the book. It sounds like it is well written and full of good info.

After reading these reviews, I think I'm going to pass. Sounds like just another splatbook to powerup the demihumans.

Hahaha. Demihumans. That had nearly slipped my mind. What a goofy word.
