There are also four monster lairs in the area that provide additional hooks for the adventurers to explore. Production values have improved since the old days, and the cover is in full-color with a satiny green background. The inside text has a sidebar running along the edge of pages, which has what looks like a standard sidebar that has been smudged out with ghostly skulls appearing in the smudge. This looks cool for about five minutes, and then you stop noticing it. I prefer the WOTC sidebars in The Sunless Citadel, but these are largely unobjectionable.
Boxed text is set off from standard text very clearly.
It's on a faux parchment background and is in a sort of fantasy italic script. This was a bad decision typographically, because there are contingent sections that are supposed to be italicized or bolded. In excellent light, it is reasonably easy to tell the difference between the two types of script. However, if the light is dimmer, it's much harder to tell the difference. The well-prepared DM is not going to screw this up regardless, but if Necromancer wants this text to be easily distinguished, they should go in for a different script or something to more obviously distinguish the two types of boxed text.
