Summary: One of Forgotten Realms' Best!
Comment: I agree with the last reviewer. I highly recommend this book to people interested in Forgotten Realms supplements. This one is the first FR region supplement, but it outshines most of the later hardback books. A great place for a beginning DM to set his adventures, and it has enough plot hooks and even fleshed out encounters to keep you going for a while.
I'll still be using it in 2005 when the FR hardback Waterdeep supplement comes out.
If you can only afford one supplement, this is it!

Summary: The best d&d book on my shelf :P
Comment: This book is, without a doubt, one of the best books I have ever purchased. It may only be 157 pages long, but the detail and work that has gone into it is INCREDIBLE.
The book's split up into 8 chapters:
Chapter 1, the lay of the land, basically goes into detail about every part of the Marches, in terms of terrain. It describes smaller towns and villages, the Nether and Rauvin mountains, forests, even places that might not be technically IN the Silver Marches, like Anauroch and the High Forest.
Chapter 2, Exploring the Wilds, gives info on many things, including weather (for different areas of the Marches :P), Animals and Plants, and even wilderness encounters for every area of the Marches (see what I mean about detail..:P)
Chapter 3, Cities of the Silver Marches, speaks for itself; ot basically details all the major cities, plus Quaervarr and Newfort for some reason...
Chapter 4, People of the Silver Marches, basically outlines things such as economy, the armies of the Marches, and the Uthgardt tribes' customs.
Chapter 5, Politics and Power, explains how the League works, and details enemies of the Marches in more detail.
Chapters 6 and 7 (Heroes of the North and Monsters of the Marches, respectively), are quite small, detailing 6 new prestige classes and 7 new monsters.
Finally, Chapter 8, adventures in the North, details 3 small sites, and Blood and Gold, an adventure that works quite well.
Basically, if your campaign is set in the Marches, GET THIS BOOK. You will NOT regret it.

Summary: Good book, lots of details
Comment: I found this book to be very detailed in its descriptions of the North, and liked the fact that it leaves a few mysteries and potentially interesting sites here and there for you to embellish yourself. In doing this, I think it does a good job of giving you lots of details without restricting you.
The art and presentation are great. I liked the large fold-out map, however, I would have liked to have seen small shots of the relevant portions of that map in the "Lay of the Land" part of the text so that you could read the book without having to constantly refer to the large and unwieldy map. The map is nice and nicely done though, and I think it would be excellent for use in a game.
Anyway, I'd give it 4 stars because it was everything I expected it would be, gave me all of the information I was looking to get out of it, and was well done. It didn't blow me away, but it's a solid book and well worth the money.
