The “other” book in the series of equipment guides. This one, for some reason, boasts the subtitle of “Guns and Gear for any occasion”, yet I find it to be less useful than Gundark’s guide. While technically it does have guns and gear, this one should more aptly be named “Stuff for any occasion”.
This book has quite a wide variety of stuff. There’s a handful of droids, some personal type walker units….or power armor-type things. Rocket packs, jewelry, personal gifts, entertainment, travel aids….just a gaggle of stuff. Some of it you probably will never give a second glance. Some you will use quite often.
As with the other book, this one offers a little picture (most of the time) that shows what the item looks like. This is a nice touch, I think. Price and availability is there, as is a description of the item….some of them quite lengthy. This book, however, lacks the little tidbits of “story” about each item. While not a necessity, it added a nice touch to the other book that this one doesn’t have.
If I had to choose between this and Gundark’s book, I choose the latter of the two. This one, while neat, just doesn’t quite cut the mustard.
