My view is that it's a rather pointless book. Sure, the art is nice
(except for some of it -- Earl Geier comes to mind) but if you already own
a fair collection of SR books, you already have most of it. The only use
I've found for the book is to let new players look through it a bit to get
an impression of the Sixth World; I take it with me to the game when a new
player joins in, and after that it goes back on the "seldom-used" side of
the shelf, right next to my SR1 and SRII main rulebooks.
