Trying to find detailed information on the vast swamp but the pickings seem to be slim. I was wondering if anyone knows if "The Cormyrean Marshes" booklet (which doesn't seem to be included in the pdf files of elminsters ecologies) would contain anything interesting or if it even exists.

That booklet does exist in El's Ecologies and it has a few pages about the Vast.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Because the pdf is from the expansion to the original Elminster's Ecologies boxed set. The boxed set is not offered as a freebie.

There's also some lore about the Vast Swamp in the 2e Cormyr sourcebook.

Nobleknight has two. One for 18, and one for the original price of 20ish. Or you could get the pdf from rpgnow.com or paizo's site.

I also saw a couple at Dragontrove.com last week during my weekly FR online rummaging.

The prices there were about the same as well -- though both where in "Satisfactory" condition.
