Received mine yesterday.  What an impressive book.  Looks and feels like an A&P text book from college.

Small Problem:  FGG did a great job of protecting my book but damage did occur.  FGG wrapped several layers of bubble wrap around the book itself and placed it in an oversized box full of packing peanuts.  However, the two bottom right corners are creased and the cover paper has begun to split at the top of the book.  Looking at the damage suggest that someone along the line dropped the box and the book hit directly on the corners.  FGG did a responsible job of packing and since I'm not planning on selling this book I'm just going to deal with it.

My book had slight bump on a corner or two - nothing concerning.  Only little annoyance reading it so far is around page 34 I believe it is - the pages are stuck together more near to the spine.  This doesn't effect reading anything, only how the page wants to not stay as flat while trying to read it.  Since I'm reading this adventure for the first time, I can say what a great job of writing this is, along with the artwork and maps. Though I might have to create hex maps for the Desolation :) barring I have the time.

My copy arrived today...needless to say the .pdfs did not do justice to the size of this "Mighty Tome!"

I got my copy of Slumbering Tsar last night direct from the Frog God.

Although I have been downloading the pdf files as they came out, I haven't read much until today...

So far, my favorite part has been the story of the Fifty and One knights and their unsavory fates.  Very good detail.
