My review of this one is actually rather old - from last year in fact, but it wasn't available on Paizo back then, thus my review was probably exposed mostly to people via endzeitgeist.com, Pathways or similar means.
Thanks for the exhaustive review. It's good to hear the approach and effort I put into it is playing out well for others. When I was breaking out the book one of the central ideas was that if I was going to write a book it would be as close to the kind of ideal RPG reference material as I could hope for, so it has that "by gamers, for gamers" usability.
One thing that time and money did not allow for were designer notes in the book. I did try and inject some design considerations into the text itself, but I couldn't go into the footnote level of detail I would have wanted so that my design reasoning was made clear. You're review covers so much that I'll try and do some followup posts to elaborate on some of the book's elements.
