I just bought this and after skimming through it, I must say that my first impression is that this is probably the best of the classbooks in all-around value:
The PrC's are non-campaign specific and pretty much all look cool and useful. MotW is how all the classbooks should have been, which is frustrating, because it will probably be the least used/least financially successful of the classbooks, due to the more limited scope of the classes it represents. That said, MotW does try hard to break the stereotypical image of barbarians, druids and rangers, and I think it succeeds... but the beauty part is that most of the PrC's and even the feats can be used by just about any class. The book is really much more useful than I ever expected, and also for a wider variety of things than its cover implies. For once, I am completely satisfied with a WoTC classbook purchase... Now, if I could just get my players to become barbarians, druids and rangers, LOL.
If you are going to buy the WoTC classbooks, Masters of the Wild and Tome & Blood deliver the most bang for your buck, unlike the sheer mediocrity of Song & Silence or the substandard Sword & Fist. Instead of Sword & Fist, I recommend getting Mongoose's The Quintessential Fighter, which not only delivers more pages for the same price, but delivers a wealth of quality crunchy bits as well for DMs and players alike.
