I had this box set as a kid, and remember loving reading it. - I am very pleased with the way this book has been put togheter, the quality of the print is very high and don't seem to have any issues that the PDF seems to have based on the discussion here.
Reading it now, I am not sure if the focus on this product was as good as say The North, or Spellbound, both of whom are amazing. The campaign book of Zhentil keep is more about a History of the Keep and it's current state, along with information the Zhentarim as a whole, magic items and some npcs. The second part of the book is an adventure, and some new monsters. This means that a destroyed city gets about as writing about it as Waterdeep does in City of Splendors box set.
Is it worth the money? Ohyes, it's a solid print and great for anyone interested in the history of Zhentil Keep or the Zhentarim, but it is not the best Box Set in 2ed.
