How good is the Book of Challenges? Is it worth $10.50? How many pages is it?

I love including puzzles and other small challenges in my campaigns.

I got it for free too.

That said if i saw it in a store for 5 or so dollars i would probably pick it up, it did have some good puzzles and such in it. And physical books are so much easier than pdfs.

It's hard to capture what disappointed me about the Book of Challenges. I just did not find the traps captured my imagination and the format did not read well. I got it for $5 Canadian on a boxing day and regret the purchase. You're really better off flipping through the DMG and DMG II traps sections.

It was available as a free pdf download from Drivethrurpg.com on November 16th. They are licensed to sell them, and it was a special holiday sale free download available for 24 hours from 10 A.M. Friday Nov 16th. You need to look at the D&D home page for these announcements! Thankfully, I got broadband last month.
