As mentioned previously, Lulu is running a special between now and December 13. They'll send you a coupon code, worth up to $25 off of your proof copy, when you publish. Once you publish, the code must be used before any revisions are made to the book, otherwise it won't work. If you have anything laying around that you want printed, now's the time!
So, I got my first copy for just shipping costs. Cool!
Also mentioned previously, this is basically my Player's Handbook, minus spells. I may go ahead and write a spellbook, just for the sake of completeness, but then again I may not. I'm happy with my current options. Ditto for monsters. I do have some ideas for further books in the series, though.
At any rate and if nothing else, when my players ask me what game I'm running, I'll have a book to show them. :)

Appendix B
On Alignment
Chaotic – Chaotic beings believe that no authority or rules, should be allowed to interfere with their wills and that so-called civilization, is just another case of the strong, dominating the weak. While some Chaotic beings are respectful of life and even altruistic, if anarchistic, most tend towards wickedness.
H. P. Lovecraft described the Chaotic point of view, when he wrote:
"The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild, and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy.“The more sophisticated adherents of Chaos, actively and assiduously work to overthrow civilization and its fruits.
Neutral – Neutral beings are, for the most part, selfish, disinterested in any cosmic conflicts and are mostly out for themselves. They will uphold Law, if it is to their benefit and undermine it, for the same reason. Such beings tend to act in a more “lawful” manner, when dealing with family and friends, or, sometimes, more extended “families,” such as fellow cult members and so forth. Basically, Neutrals look out for themselves and have small-minded attitudes, about what and who constitutes their community.
True Neutral – The True Neutral, believes Law and Chaos to be necessary parts of Nature and seeks a balance of these powers and values, both within themselves and within the multi-verse as a whole. To this end, they endorse the “Law of Nature,” as they see it, which often leads towards the sort of conduct that is seen in the Neutral alignment, above. That being a more “lawful” stance towards what they see as their communities, and a “chaotic” approach to dealing with others, reflecting the sort of dominance and submission, which they see in nature: the so-called “law of the jungle.” Druids, in particular, take their interpretations to a “cosmic” level, often leading to a bizarre mixture of sophistication and savagery.
