And oh
The pen happy remark referred to the amount of writing that has gone into the volumes. Copious amounts. I am... stunned.
As for Canting Crew. Its sitting on my desk right now, I peruse it constantly for adventure ideas and encounters. It is an astounding book.
Here's one for example - pulled toally at random. PG 60, Bully Cocks. robbers who instigate quarrels to rob those who are arguing. Have the beginning of an adventure right there. Provided the PCs just don't end up killing everyone in sight.

Re: And oh
Hello again
Oh, okay, gotcha
Yes indeed, these volumes are not skimpy on the detail, that's for sure.
Yep, the book is fun to read or just page through at random. My wife wants to use it when I get a game going again to better portray a thief type by picking up some of the Cant. As DM/LM, I'd better learn what she learns so my NPC rogues don't appear to be in the dark with such things.

World Builder, imho, is the greatest sourcebook out there for GMs. Being able to find definitions of geographcal features, information on Measurement and the listings of all the herbs is beyond description!
Get a copy as soon as you can!!
Now, when will the next book be ready?

Questions...answers
Thanks all for the fine compliments! We are very proud of the World Builder for both its content and form. This book is chalk full of useful info and because it will see a great deal of milage we made certain it was bound properly and professionally. You won't find this one crumbling in your hands folks!
On a personal note I can say that my DMing improved tremendously while Todd and I were assembling the massive amounts of pics with the Gary and Dan's supplied text. My descriptions went through the roof and those "touches" that DMs rely to set mood and gear up emotion improved greatly.
That said, the player will find the World Builder equally as useful. The whole first section is entitled Stock-in-Trade for just this reason. The player can really equip his characters with armaments and gear. All the new weapons and armor are given a d20 stat block of course (really in a four page chart of new weapons and armor).
This is really a useful tool for all!
Up next is Living Fantasy. This one will focus in on the city life brought to you by the CC and the city itself brought to by WB. In Living Fantasy the socio-economic classes are highlighted. How they live, what they do, their heirarchies and so forth. Living Fantasy will be slightly shorter at about 136 pages. It is set for a March release and for once, is on schedule. (the new title has not been put on this image
).
There are more in the series, a total of 5 in all with a sixth under development.
I hope this helps answer your questions.

The book didnt get alot of acclaim on www.rpg.net, there is a thread with alot of speculation about Gary Gygax's worldbook, in which its essentially just a book of lists.
I'm not holding any opinions, but here's a link if anyone is interested in reading this:
