Summary: It's worth it...


	Basically, start studying AD&D all over again folks.  If you
include this book in your campaign it will greatly enhance the game.

	If you have subscribed to Dragon, then you pretty much have
all the material contained in this compilation.  However, you do NOT
get all the updated rolling charts etc.

	I recommend the book, even though I shelled out $15 for it.

 	The table of contents runs like this:
