This suppliment is just that: a suppliment to a game setting and system, not a rules compendium. The book is well written, there is variety while avoiding some of the cheap printer's tricks White Wolf has used in the past to "spice up" their books. Solid, firmly based in the setting, and especially valuable for new players. Even for those unhappy with the current direction of the line, this tome has some well formed ideas for any player or Storyteller. While not a must have, it is worth having for the fan of the Mage line.
Well, mainly, not. The real reason to pay this price for this book is because you'd like to read some short vignettes by unknown authors within a setting contrived for an RPG, not general fiction. I realize some of you like your White Wolf books that way, and you're welcome to them. I just found it monumentally frustrating that the book contains a small pamphlet's worth of actual information I can use, an none of the information I was really buying the book for. I feel I was deceived.
