Grab a copy of Races of Eberron and another supplement from the previous year or two (The Expanded Psionics Handbook, Unearthed Arcana, Complete Arcane, et al). Lay them both open at the same time. Spot the difference.If you don't have the appropriate visual aids, the upshot is that Races of Eberron is laid out at font size that would allow the book to easily double as an eye test chart. Doing a quick average count, one full page of Races of Eberron has 860 words as compared to Complete Arcane's 1100 words. This means that for the same price and with the same 192 page count, Races of Eberron delivers 80% of the actual content of a standard WotC supplement. Or, to put it another way, Wizards has published a 150-page supplement but figured out a way to charge you for a 192-page supplement. And don't even bother comparing those numbers to the copy/page ratio of one of the core books.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of Wizards of the Coast as... well, you know.</blockquote>
