[QUOTE="Davelozzi, post: 85870, member: 771"] Flipping through a book in the store is better than nothing, but not much. You might get a good sense of whether or not the prestige classes are interesting or appropriate for your campaign, but you probably can't get a good enough read to realize how erratta written a book like S&F is. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some books are well written but take more time to get used to. For example, I flipped through Relics & Rituals numerous times and didn't buy it, because it seemed like just a bunch of spells and I didn't have time to read a lot of them in detail in the store. But then I borrowed it from someone else, gave it a more in-depth read and realized that the spells are really intersting, as is the other material, and most of it is pretty well thought out. Now I will probably pick it up when I get a chance. I'm certainly not saying don't flip through it in the store, by all means do. I'm just saying that you probably won't get the whole picture.
