I'll probably pick it up, eventually. Right now, I can't; but it's one of the RPG books I'm interested in.

Nope, no need for a player-fied Manual of the Planes.

Got it, and I'm glad I did. The planar touchstone locations double as cool DM planar tidbits, and I got some extremely interesting ideas out of them.

I got it, and It's solid enough. The description of the Planar Metropolises is nice, The Sensate PrC with its continually increasing prerequisites is a nice thing, the Planar Touchstones seem a nice concept, as are the Substitution Levels.

Next on the product survey quiz...

Bought it and happy with it. Wondered in the first place, what it will be, but crunchy enough to be incorporated into my campaign.

Bought all versions of the "Manual of the Planes" since the first version.

So this was a must for me.

Look out for the Fist Look of Errata (Spells) .... ;o)

Kind regards

The sorceror substitution levels previewed on Wizards' site just left me cold. But no doubt it can't all be twizz. My GM wants it.

Mmmm, more planar stuff! I'll probably buy it next month.

Have it. Love it. Highly recommend it. Some great Planescape inspired material.

I've already read through the planar substitution level section and I can honestly say that the sorcerer substitution levels aren't the cat's meow of this section. Almost all the other class substitution levels are better.

For example, the rogue substitution levels...

6th: Breach sense, detection of planar portals/breaches within 30 feet. Can attempt a DC 25 Spot check to pinpoint portals/breaches exact location.
10th: Slip the bonds, turn ethereal for one round as a free action per day.
16th: Blink, as the spell, once per day, lasts # of rounds = to 1/2 rogue level.
