Overall, I recommend this product, although at first, when at the counter ready to fork over the 30 bucks for a softcover source book with a few new spells in it, I was hesitant!  But after reading and using this product, I find it packed full of useful source material for the Forgotten Realms, for players and DM's alike!  Enjoy!</blockquote>
