Still, it's nice to have it all in one place. My hardcopy arrived today (ordered from a used bookstore in England, it's out of print), and I wouldn't call the info generic. Useful for a beginner. You can find much more detailed discussion in this forum and on others, but it takes a while to find what you're looking for. So, sure, get the PDF version if you're new to the game, you'll probably learn a few things. It's also written in an easy-going style, one that many veteran grognards may find too simple, but for newbies is probably right on.
