My reviews are to *inform*, not to simply complain. Every line should not be read as criticism or praise."While Alan apparently doesn't feel that the "best such book available" "That is not even close to how I review. I don't care if a book is the best of a "category". Rather, I ask how strong a contribution it would be to my gaming shelf. Is this a nice book? Yes. But I only award 5's to books that DEMAND that I use them in my game and keep me up at nights thinking of all the ways that I could use it. This book is NOT in that category.As for the whitespace issue, I am pretty much a substance over style type of guy. If that is not the way you shop, feel free to find a reviewer whose criteria matches yours better.Finally, I must say that it stuns me that people who like the book have so much angst over a positive review.</blockquote>
