I wasn't so excited about them for several reasons:
first, I didn't like the layout!
I know, tastes may differ but I found it very confusing and hard to look up anything again.
second, I found it a bit too much in the RQ-style for my demands.
I KNOW that Ian Thompson explicitly states that the presented material was mostly done pre-HW, so it's not his fault at all! but for me, this limits the usability of the scenario[s].
especially some of the HW-related rule-bits like the 'Getting into the Rubble table' on page no. 5 in Masks are not quite reflecting how I thought HW was supposed to work. but I could be wrong here...
again, these points are hardly Ian's fault, he has done a great job compiling all this material!

the considerably low price is one of the best arguments for the whole Pavis-series from Tradetalk, 'one can't get more bang for his bucks' :)
> Buy it, read it, use it!
I agree! I do not regret buying them all, with some quibbles still left.
that said, I hope this stirs up some other opinions as well, no matter on what book or what review or whatever.
