this seems very useful
when is it out in print?

Hmmm... are there any previews on your site? Or can you post something here? I'm definitely interested, but ordering this at my FLGS will cost me 25 euros, so I'd like to know at least *something* about the contents (because, sadly, I'm not familiar with the individual products the description mentions).
Anyway, sounds like my kind of book! :)
I'm in agreeance with Asgetrion - it sounds like a great product but it would be nice to know more about it before buying it. S'pose we'll just have to wait for braver souls to give it a go and write reviews...

I'm not sure if I can attach a preview file here, but RPGNow gives samples of the complete book and each chapter (which we're still selling as separate PDFs) that should give a good idea of the look and feel, as well as a bit of content, for example:
City Builder
City Builder Volume 8 (this is an earlier version of Chapter 8 of this product)
Scroll down to "Full-Size Preview".
hhmmm... looks interesting, but looking at the preview, I still don't get a good sense of what the meat of the product is going to look like. Personal reviews will indeed go a long way to helping me make up my mind.

Wow, based on the table of contents this is *exactly* what I have wished for! Believe it or not, I was going to include a harbormaster's office and an apothecary in an upcoming adventure, and I wasn't completely sure I have them "nailed" (one of the players is a history teacher, so details are important for me). Looks like my large town would benefit a LOT from this book, so consider me sold! :)
BTW, does the book include any maps, for communities and "typical" buildings/shops (for example, the two businesses mentioned above)?

Good to hear! I hope it's useful.

We have some historical floor plans for Temples, a Monastery and an Alchemist's Workshop IIRC. We didn't map each kind of place as a matter of course.

Well, maps are not mandatory for me -- if there are descriptions along the lines of "This is how a typical harbormaster's office looks like and this is how he conducts his business" I'm more than satisfied! :)
The preview at RPG looks great
