Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast

Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast is a sourcebook for the Forgotten Realms using the 2nd-edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset.
==Description==
This book is the third in the celebrated series of travel guides by Volothamp Geddarm. This book details settlements and attractions large and small, up and down the sword coast. It is written in Volo's trademark colorful and (unintentionally) humorous style.
Although this sourcebook was published under 2nd Edition AD&D rules it is still popular, as its content is more descriptive than technical.
