True, but it's not a whole sourcebook -- Faeries is a wonderful sourcebook, and one I heartily recommend. I've got a couple of half-fae Realms NPCs wandering around me noggin, right now. 
Indeed. And it's doubles as a convenient source for the Realms as well, as Steven Schend -- who partly edited the book -- explains below:-
"For those interested in another take/option on Faerie, there is a D20 option from Bastion Press y'all might want to take a look at.....
Bryon Wischstadt, long-time Realms fanatic and all-around good guy, wrote this guide to Faerie (both the realm/plane and inhabitants) and yours truly edited it alongside him. As both of us (and Jim Butler, Bastion's president, CEO, and chief cook and bottle washer) all have a deep and abiding love for the Realms, there's nothing in there that wouldn't work in terms of using Faerie as a source for ancient elves (or other more modern threats). It's a mix of old folklore and modern conceptions of Faerie and even stats up Old Man Winter, Father Time, and Father Christmas if you want such.

Who apologizes profusely for plugging a product but it seems relevant to the discussion at hand"

The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay. |

Do you have the playtest document already?
EDIT:
I'll have mine in "30-60 minutes...maybe"???
After all I went through to confirm, you would think it would be available for immediate download...weird! 
EDIT TWO:
the thrice-cursed page won't load...been trying for two hours. 
Any advice from anyone here? |

| Well i did not even know about any platesting documents but then again im all the way in Malaysia so I would not know much about what the developers in DND do except by looking online. The area in which i live in has few if not no players at all... |
Everything ends where it begins. Period.

Well, I like Wizards so far. No mention in the basic classes of sorcerer; but so far we only have Cleric, Fighter, Wizard and Thief.
I started a new thread here:
