| I saw Libre Mortis and Shining South both at my FLGS yesterday, and I've already started reading Shining South. However, a few minutes later I was at Barnes & Noble, and I saw neither book. |

I saw SS was listed last night as available from Amazon. I have some gift certificate balance built up there, but will probably wait on getting it since I might be reading another FR novel soon.
B&N didn't have a new release? Color me stunned. |

Well met
Having just returned from GENCON UK, my backpack overfloweth  I managed to acquire the following tomes:
Shining South
The Two Swords
Realms of Dragons
Libris Mortis
...to name but a few.
I must say, that Shining South comes HIGHLY recommended and is one of the best FR tomes I have had the pleasure to read in a long while.

I just ordered The Shining South from Amazon myself 
Libris Mortis will have to wait until next time but I really want to get that tome as well.
The Two Swords will have to wait until the paperback edition comes out as well. |

I awoke this morning to the sight of two very large packages... each chock full with wholesome D&D goodness.
Among the treasures I received were:
Shining South
Libris Mortis
The Two Swords
Towers of High Sorcery - DL
Flight of the Fallen - DL
Amber and Ashes - DL
Beyond Countless Doorways - PS tribute
Masque of the Red Death - RL/GE
Dark Legacies: Player's Guide - Independent
They are the reason why I haven't posted that much here today... I've a lot of reading to get through over the next few days...

| I'd be interested to hear your views on Shining South, Sage. I picked this particular tome up myself at the weekend and am very impressed, i'll be spending more time with it tonight as it's crammed with valuable information |

I'll most likely post a few thoughts here and there about the content of each chapter Rad, soon enough. At the moment though, I'm working my way through BCD... obviously .

"obviously", says he!  Shining South is one of the most wonderful tomes I have had the pleasure to read, of late, and I highly recommend this to all. It should be....ahem, "obvious" that this is to take priority over all other tomes of lore, without question! Now, Sage, back to thy Realmslore! |

Yes SIR!... 
As it happens, I've skimmed over the 'Races and Regions' chapter of SS. I'm quite impressed with the details presented so far. In particular, I liked the fact that the individual races of human from the South are differentiate by fluff and culture, rather than stats. Even the racial feats are a nice touch...
