>Out of curiosity CR, what do you think of the Target books???
Of what I've read? And I should warn you, it isn't very much, so they
could actually be what I'm looking for.
First off, I think the new art, well, sucks. Some of it is good, but a
lot of it is too... Something. Don't precisely know how to describe it,
it just doesn't look quite right fro SR. And that is across the board, not
just the Target line, for most of the books since Bug City have been too
angler, dark and distorted for the interior art, and covers and plates have
largely been just "ewwww", but that is just me. (Although I like the CFS
cover.)
To me, what I've read feels like those travel books that you can find in
hotels. The only thing missing is a list of resturants and night clubs.

I also think that they tried to cover too much ground, or they had not
enough book to do it and stuff got heavily editited. Example, Target: UCAS
should have either been thicker with more info each city, or just been a
general book about the UCAS, with a handful of cities mentioned in medium
detail, like the CFS book.
