Printed book: 2 stars
Content: 5 stars
The printed copy is rife with inconsistent print quality, unfortunately almost all the SR 1e book reprints from DTRPG have this problem. This is the only way you're probably going to get a hard copy of Aztlan without paying a premium. I'm not sure if the issue is a low quality scan, printing issue, combo or something else but it is difficult on the eyes how text runs from light to overly dark/bold.
The writing here is top notch, Nigel Findley was one of the best RPG writers of his day and deserves mention in the G-O-A-T list. There's not much in the way of game mechanisms in the book. The focus is on setting information and plot hooks. Like almost all Shadowrun books of this type there are old BBS style postings on what people think of a given topic covered often suggesting to the gamemaster how they may spin or work a story/topic.
Excellent material -I'm just disappointed the physical copy was poorly printed/scanned.
