April 24, 2009I recently got this book and have read several of the articles. Great stuff, and plan on getting his next collection.
I did see a few typos, which I thought would have been picked up in proofreading.

May 23, 2010A great collection of Ric Lai’s articles.
The problem with this collection (the same with his other collection) is some people assume its a collection of articles explaining these series, when really these are “Wold Newton Universe” related articles.
See the reviews on Amazon for more on this issue.
