This informational text supplies detail and atmosphere for players of the Vampire roleplaying game. It is a collection of materials from various other White Wolf publications, and includes a forward by Mark Rein-Hagen from the post-TV show Kindred: The Embraced. I addition, there is an extensive lexicon of Vampire terms, and lots of story.

For serious players of Vampire, this text is hardly worth a ten-spot. For newcomers, it beats buying twenty different sourcebooks, although it doesn't contain any rules/system information as the clanbooks do.
