It was from Pharos Press well before Hogshead, and was quite worth the
effort to locate it. Quite lovingly presented, and fascinating to read. A
lot of the tone of the setting was conveyed through quite sizable (at
times) fictional quotations, withouth which the book woudl have been
considerably smaller, and perhaps even pointless.

Like many people, I gather, I haven't actually played a game, but just
reading the book was worth the price. Lots of ideas. Lots of mood.
Definitely not mainstream.

Take care,

Liam
