The definitive guide to Greg Stafford's intricate, highly original fantasy world.
Whole the Guide doesn't add much to the knowledge of Dragon Pass and Prax if you have the relevant HeroQuest books, it adds a great deal of detail to the areas outside Genertela, and does a fine job of assembling material from long out-of-print into a pair of lavishly produced volumes.
Note: this review covers both volumes.
