The cover of this product gives you a good idea of what you're getting. Inside is a keyed legend with a marked map, another that highlights the different districts in separate colors, a plain b/w line version for you to mark up how you like, and the sepia version from the front. That's it, but that's all they advertise and it's all I need. The rest is left to you to fill in to your needs.

What I particularly like is the scope of the map. Most maps I encounter are sprawling high medieval to renaissance layouts. While those certainly have a role, Black Hand Source has the potential to fill out a good niche in offering smaller maps. If you play in a fantasy game with a younger, earlier civilization -- or if you have a need for a small walled town -- this is a good map with plenty of inspiration. However, be prepared to do some work and write in the details yourself.

I'd easily rate the product at 5 starts, but the price is a little high and loses one for value. There are other products that offer similar amount of pages (I don't count blue or black versions of the the exact map as separate pages) for about $2. Still, I'm happy to have purchased this product and hope they continue to do more and create a series.
