CSH was great, its all the stuff you always wanted to know and had to
make up yourself :) and I still dont have Bug City, but Burning Bright
(the novel with the background) was pretty damn cool. Prime runners was neat
but not neccecarily worth the bucks.

Well some of the stuff like Maglocks and monowire were just reprinted
from NAGtoRL, but yes CSH is good, especially for the sec riggers :)

The CSH is good if you want a firm idea on how corps protect their sites,
but as somebody pointed out recently, it doesn't really have anything you
can't think of yourself if you use common sense ("Which common sense?! I'm
an SR GM!" :)
Bug City is very good, essential really, if you want to run in Chicago.
Otherwise, it might be nice for the background stuff, but if you're not
planning on a Chicago campaign, ou can just as well not buy it.
Burning Bright, well, poorly written is the first thing that comes to mind.
I bought it because I wanted more info the the events preceding Bug City,
but I found it very much below average as SR novels go...
