A clone of AD&D 2nd edition, with very few changes (expanded flying rules and the addition of some monstrous races that were originally in The Complete Book of Humanoids are a couple that come to mind). This book is basically like having the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monsterous Manual all under one cover.
The only downside is that the book uses public domain artwork (which, to be fair, is all beautiful and appears to have been carefully selected to match the text it accompanies as closely as possible). But, for someone who has a lot of nostalgia for 2nd edition, there is nothing like the artwork/art style from the original books.
Still, there are so few 2nd edition clones out there (od&d and B/X seem to get most of the love) and this is something that I would happily use if I got a 2e game going that I'll give it full marks.
