The fourth book in the series. This continues to be an excellent reference guide to the roleplaying industry 2000-2009

The third book in the series, as a reference guide to the roleplaying industry in the 1990's it is excellent.

The second book in the series, it continues to be an excellent reference guide.

I wanted a history of roleplaying, however this is a history of the roleplaying industry in the 1970's. Which is exactly what the subtitle said, so I'm not complaining. It did the job that it advertised and I found out things I didn't know which is excellent. Sadly it all becomes repetitive, but it is a great reference guide and for that I give it high marks.
