The Weissian two-page spread is actually not a new idea; Weiss was using it in the sixties when he worked at Lockheed, as far as I can remember.

In general, most rolegames present quite poor technical writing: they're badly designed, organized, and executed. They don't include common internal reference and cross-reference tools. They have shoddy editing and usage standards.

There are exceptions, and the past ten years it seems to me has produced better material than the previous ten. Still, hardly a week goes by without some rolegame company or other releasing some hardback tome with no index, riddled with 'xx' cross reference booboos...
