I discovered this book while on forum on 1920s prohibition and narcotics. While I'm not into role playing, I found the section on the attitudes of the time and especially for the sections on firearms of the era extremely useful. Anything that may cut down my research time gives a three to four stars for me.

Basic Premise: A general reference guide for people who run the Call of Cthulhu RPG.

I love how well the various CoC books work together regardless of edition. Seriously, there's next to no differences in rules there. Because the game is much more about the role-play (rather than the roll-play), the amount of "fluff" over "crunch" in this book is very valuable. Keepers have to know how the world/story works far more than they need extra rules for how to roll the dice. This book is very helpful for all of that. This book does have a bit more "crunch" than the first Keeper's Companion, and focuses a bit more on the older settings.
