First one of a bunch of 4.0 previews. Worth it, or trash it?

The impression I get from this one is more of a developer's POV, kind of like a production notes and commentary track reel. Great for reading, not necessarily for gaming. This looks more interesting to me from an academic standpoint.

Don't judge a book, cover it! Laughing
Seriously, I think we should wait til we get to read it. After that, we'll know if it's trash or not. Smile

It's the 4.0 cover layout. Sad PHB will kinda look like that, too. I like my 3.5 covers better, needless to say

@erwin.
we are not judging the book as a whole but it's possible worth in our gaming life.

Trash it. A preview, for me, is non-sense. It just keeps you on edge when you can stand on better ground. Just wait for the 4Ed PHB.
