It breaks down the book by city sections but nothing else. This wouldn't have been a big deal if there was an index -- but there isn't. As Olaf correctly surmised, the book is a campaign setting/sourcebook, not an adventure, which made all of this doubly frustrating.With WLD, this kind of oversight wasn't a big deal as you could read it/use it in small chunks (no need to read all 800+ pages of it prior to the start of your first game session). You could bookmark one chapter and pretty much read through it in order of play. No biggie. Not so with the WLC (where characters could conceivably visit many sections of it in the course of a single evening game session). I really liked the content of the book but it was so impractical to use during actual play that I ended up parting with it -- for $15 in credit at the FLGS. I probably could have held out for more cash or trade value, though I finally came to accept that short of memorizing the entire book (or investing in multiple boxes of bookmarks), it wasn't doing me any good. In keeping with my New Year's Resolution to only purchase/retain books that will get used, the WLC had to go. It's not the most disappointing RPG purchase of the last decade for me, though it's easily the most expensive disappointing RPG purchase that I've ever made.</blockquote>
