It's the rare book that's going to be perfect. Even the talented Exalted had it's share of typos and playtesting issues.

The book has several things going for it.

Price: Even at $40, it's cheap.

Art: Some classic artists and some new blood like Jason Engle give this a professinal feel.

Layout: Great style and feel.

Utility: Has lots of mechanical material that can be used in numerous game worlds.

Versitility: Can be used in the DL setting with different time periods with focus for Age of Mortals saved for another book.

I try not to let my own dislike of some of the Dragonlance elements effect how useful I think this book would be for someone else who either doesn't know the series at all, which makes this a perfect jump on book, or who actually enjoys the numerous flips WoTC does as they look for a final theme.
