This is a surface-level review: I haven't looked really closely at all the material in this book yet for stuff like game-breaking balance, but even if half the book is pun-pun, it'd still be a great book. There's a ton of content in here, a lot of it is quite clever and inspiring.
An example: the Halfling Feast-Master is a kind of alt-bard (by role, that is): provides food-based buffs to the party. Cool idea, well-executed, and much more flavor (hah!) than Yet Another Half-Elf Singer.
From my read so far, obviously this sourcebook is intended for Labyrinth Lord, but it'd be pretty easy to map into any flavor of OSR play.
