It is an Excellent zine, but it is a zine and that format is pretty minimalist.

I bought the 1st issue when it came out sort of just because. I am not really into EPT.

I thought issue #1 may be worth something in the future, but then I thought I saw where he started reprinting back issues recently.

It's pretty good---James' writing is excellent, as usual, but there's a lot of content that's not immediately usable at the table, unless you're already familiar with EPT and it's cultures, languages, religions, etc.

That's right---James has been printing the issues, and you can order issues @ Back Issues | The Excellent Travelling Volume
