As for the form factor, I found it much more manageable for reading than a typical RPG book. Flipping through for reference is a bit more effort, true.
The art, writing, and layout, though... top-notch.

Yes, they were less intrusive than in BW and I was happy about that. Maybe I'm carrying some baggage over from those imps to BE's voices. However, I guess it's just my preference that designer notes not be spread throughout the book like that. A sidebar here and there is ok, but IMO the voices were just a little too overused. In the case where it was a futher explanation of a rule, well, it could have just been explained further or had an example without the "voice".
Like I said above though, these are minor (and personal) nitpicks. The overall book
is top notch and I'm
very happy with my purchase of it at GenCon last month.
