A great collection of Ancient books that you could bring a ton of flavor to your games ! I am sure one or two of my friends out there will look seriously at putting some of these books to use in their games.

A good post. As a DM you have to remember your players are as much a key part of the story as the story you are telling. If you they are not having fun.
