The following is a questionairre that someone put together. It asks for
you to rank, in three categories, the sourcebooks currently available for SR.
In order, these categories are: Do you have it?/How good is the product
itself?/Is it necessary to have in order to play Shadowrun? I left my
reviews as an example of how I did it.
