4/5 —

Instead of me heaping praise on the authors of this book (they're all luminaries in the field) I will offer a suggestion for the potential purchaser. Get out that old notebook you’ve had since 7th grade.
While this book is ultimately intended for the “next level” gamer trying to get to published, I think that it will serve the average Game Master very well. If your players get up and wander around or check their facebook page while you are stumbling through the read-aloud text, you might want to purchase this book and the first two entries of the series.
While reading the collected essays (a free review copy) I wrote myself a couple of dozen yellow stickies and scribbled furiously in my notebook. Will this book help me get published? Not sure, but it will help me be a better game master.

Awesome! Hope to be able to grab a copy there. Can't wait!

We did, in fact, release the print edition at the show, and got some good feedback about the series from notables and newcomers.

Print copies should be available through the Paizo store Monday or Tuesday, as I expect the Paizonians will take a bit of a rest after the big convention!

Er, print copies now available. Sorry for the late notice, but I think the Paizo Store Blog covered it. :)
