That may be it. My knowledge of Glorantha is encyclopedic...but only in the
sense that if I want to know something I have to look it up :) I like the more
overview-like approach taken by the new Glorantha book, with more in-depth
information given in future supplements. The overview is good for those not
familiar with Glorantha, and the supplements allow them to get just the in-depth
material they need.
