This book is writen like a real encyclopedia and has the most information of any white wolf supplement. It is writen by Aristotle, Lucida, and a few other noddist. THis book gives info on timelines of cities, major power players (such as Jan Pieterzoon, Myca/Sacha Vycos, Lucita, Anatole, Theo Bell, and the Methusalas.), and really anything else you could think of. My only complaint is that the information on the anarch revolt is a bit dodgy. It is worth it if you have an extra $100 to spend.

In the style of the Book of Nod (and Revelations of the Dark Mother) this book is written as if it was an actual book available in the (Old) World of Darkness. It is a reference book with details of practically every vampire mentioned in all of the Vampire: the Masquerade game books. It is well written and comprehensive.
It is black 'leatherbound' looking book with silver prinding and silver edged pages with a scarlet bookmark bound into it...so it's gorgeous to begin with. For the most part the artwork is just recycled from other books, so it's a mixed bag.
I passed up the opportunity to get this when it was first published because the original ad blurbs made it sound like a rules compendium or comprehensive index for other books...I only found out what it really was when it was already out of print.
I'm glad I got a second chance to get it at an acceptable price!
