a very good book as far as the writing goes. I enjoyed reading it immensely, and it was quite useful. Sadly, the file is so compressed the illustrations are really, really messed up. Hence the 3 stars only.
A city of dragons and renaisence gnomes. I'm a big fan of gnomes, dragons, and the inventions of Leonardo so much so that I can't really give an objective review. There is enough here to start a campaign in the city and lots of good culturl bits and hooks for writing your own adventures. Recomended unless you like to be spoon-fed Ptolus style.
