A decent collection for the price. I will say that I'm glad I didn't spend whatever the cover price might have been for it. It's not that what's here is bad because it actually has some wonderful information; there's just not enough of it. The book is only about 40 pages and doesn't elaborate on some of the Outlands sights mentioned in the original Planescape box set. Also, the cd tracks aren't included in the download. You can get them from Wizards of the Coast on their website (I had to do a search for it though because I couldn't find it listed in their archives). The cd tracks are a decidedly mixed bag. You can see that they were trying to give players a taste of life on the Outlands but mediocre voice actors and forced dialogue ruin the experience whenever you get a "first hand account." To be honest, the map is probably the best part of the book. I just wish there was a little more detail for the subjects the book covers.
