This is easily my favourite setting book and the only book in my collection that I've considered buying twice just to have a physical copy. The detailed information about the many different places and cultures in the region is well written and full of interesting adventure seeds, the art is brilliant, and the diverse cast of writers avoids the all-to-common RPG trope of "Europeans write about Africa, racism ensues". The region itself feels suitably diverse and varied as a result as well, and the people and cultures depicted feel real and believable.
