Do you own that book? Looks very interesting

[LeadAsbestos]

The Petersen's Guide is excellent. There is one for HPL's Dreamlands too.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Do you own that book? Looks very interesting

yes, I do  

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

Alex,
  what is the page count?  I have seen it listed as 64 and 164 pages?

Do you feel it is worth 40 dolalrs?  that is the bestprice I can find it for

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

I found a copy of the Dreamalnds version:

[Cyaegha]

The page count is closer to 64 than 164, it only covers about two dozen or so creatures and gods.

There are no stats in this book, however it is a truely beautiful work, and well worth $40 if your into eldritch art.

The encounter table is rather amusing.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

How Cyaegha said - 64 pages, 27 monsters, abolutely great pics and some pseudo-scientific texts. Useless for wargaming. You have to decide whether it's worth $40 for you or not  

[Grimm]

Have the Field Guide lotīs of colored pictures and can they use as a painting guide ?

Grimm

[Prof.Witchheimer]

yes, of course, loads of pics and a great inspiration or paintign guide for miniatures painting

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

Alex,
 my only issue with judging its worth is having never seen the book first hand it is hardto make that assesment.  

I'll put a flag on it and will eventually pick it up.  

thanks
