My order arrived ahead of the scheduled date and was in very good shape for a used book. There was a little dogearing on the edges, but that's about it. It was packaged very well, too, and was labeled as "do not bend" and came in a nice padded envelope - I wasn't expecting that on such a low value item. I would gladly buy books from Scott Holden-Jones, et al, again.
I picked up the book for the story, rather than the game materials; however, it looks like it contains everything you need to get a game going, although there might be a game master's edition out there. It looks like it might be based more on GURPS than D&D.
