At last, the most difficult-to-find sourcebook module for the Realms - this compendium of lore tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the vaunted faerieland kingdom of Cormyr - it is a majestic land ruled by a wise and just king, which means, of course, that the forces of evil have focused upon its borders in their neverending hatred... details include geography, climate, cities and towns, history, philosophy, culture, entertainment, law, nobility, the peasantry, the knightly orders, the Purple Dragons, adventures, and of course, the legendary War Wizards themselves! A true classic of Realmslore, almost impossible to find; highest recommendation.

This is a complete overview of Cormyr the country that stands as a central place for adventurers in the forgotten realms. In the same line of presentation as the dale lands and moonsea area this supplement includes a large full color map of the area. Much like the larges expansions as the North and Lands of Intrigue this is a very good supplement at less that half the price.

This interesting book is an in-depth look at the kingdom of Cormyr, which is located in the middle lands of Faerun, in the Forgotten Realms setting. Everything is covered here from geography, to history, to sociology, stressing attitudes and organization of the various levels of Cormyte society.

Overall, I found this to be a very interesting resource. Unlike many AD&D books, this one is not based on a certain edition of the game, which means that it is equally usable for all players. It has nice depth, and is very informative. If you are using the Forgotten Realms in your D&D play, and wish to know more about Cormyr, then you should get this book.

Oh, by the way, even for those not playing in Cormyr, there is some very interesting things in here, including maps and information on several cities, and a fully fleshed out map of a castle.
