The Civilized Guide to Tabletop Gaming

I was excited about this book, reaching out to the local library to suggest they order one or more copies. It contains great information for the novice on gaming culture and customs. Essentially it writes the unwritten rules, and that is part of where it fell flat for me - I encountered little I didn't already know. This could have perhaps been ameliorated by a few more anecdotes, a bit more humor or even some illustrations. 3.5 stars.
