Inside you'll find a revised version of the guides I wrote while building Edgeworth 18 months ago along with a little bit of new material to fill in some of the gaps. The spare original supplements sold like hot cakes at exhibitions as people raced to collect the set and we quickly ran out, hence the appearance of this bookazine.
Of course, the whole point of this exercise is that since the layout was in print, a whole load of new people have entered the hobby who won't have seen them. The layout proved incredibly popular at show with several versions being built by others - something I take as a massive compliment.
To support this, we're still running a thread on RMweb to answer questions and suggestions.
Interesting, I still have all my supplements and the back issues themselves as a subscriber and hoarder of magazines/books, but if it has enough extra content that I haven't already got, then I can see myself picking up a copy. There's no such thing as too much information in my book.
ReplyDeleteIf you have all that, give this a flick through before buying as there wasn't space for that much new content. On the other hand, it's nice to have everything in one place. Mostly though, this is aimed st the large number of people who didn't complete the set or are new to the subject.
