The Ptolus package contains:1. A 672-page hardcover, full-color book that includes:    * A textured, embossed cover by Chesley-Award-winning artist Todd Lockwood.    * Three bound-in fabric bookmarks and four perforated cardstock bookmarks to facilitate use in play.    * An entire city described in loving detail, including descriptions of the dungeons beneath the city and within and atop the Spire.    * Extensive advice about running an urban fantasy campaign.    * More than enough adventure material to run an entire campaign.    * More than 50 pages of maps by cartographer Ed Bourelle.    * More than 350 illustrations by artists like Jason Engle, The Forge Studios (Maciej Zagórski and Pawel Dobosz), Michael Komarck, Eric Lofgren, Howard Lyon, and Michael Phillippi.2.
