Folks? I just bit the bullet and plunked down my $2. The verdict? It's nearly all top-down views of the ships, with nothing dramatic or vaguely interesting, art-wise. It's terribly boring, uninspired, and barely worthy of being called a coloring book. Honestly? this is one of only two products I've gotten via Drivethru that I honestly wish I could get my money back for. ADB should feel both embarrassed and ashamed that they're charging money for this. Don't waste your $2 like I did- there's better stuff out there on the internet for free.

First things first. The Accelerated Book of Approaches is a misleading title. Another reviewer likened it to a re-formatted blog post, but it's really a more of a forum post in pamphlet form, padded out with creative commons artwork- There's not nearly enough material here to warrant the word "book" in its title. There is a little bit of useful stuff in there, but most of it can already be found elsewhere on internet forums and blog posts for free, and the rest consists of a few lists of other game systems' attributes. If it were expanded out and given a full treatment and made into a full book, this could have been interesting, and as a freebie it would have been worth the download, but as a pay product (at any price, really) the Accelerated Book of Approaches is vastly wanting.
