First the bad: yes, this book is riddled with mistakes and errors. A lot of them.
On the other hand: This book is pretty good for an in depth look at the robotech universe. The details on the veritech and the Invid were amazing and my players loved it. And character creation was pretty straightforward and simple and everyone got to play what they wanted.
Playing: Because of the errors and ommisions, it was touch and go, but there is enough story information and rules there to run a pretty good game. And who doens't love giant robots transforming to fight aliens?
Summary: small and portable. cheaper then hardcover. lots of errors and missing stuff. buy the hardcover.
The First print og this book is Rife with Errors and Ommisions. Wait to buy a second-print of the Hard-cover version. the HC adds information that makes this a more-complete game and much more Playable.
