Spelling/Presentation: The Gunslinger Betty is plagued with many of the same problems that the core book has in these areas. There are misused words and section headings at the bottom of a column. No star.
Artwork: Just about everyone has said it, it is great.
Story: There is an amazing amount of depth here and a lot of good interesting information on the ship. This is without a doubt the most in depth focused RPG supplement I have ever seen. I have seen ones with more depth but never with this tight a focus.
Usefulness/Rules: This book will be almost required for the Rocketship Empires setting because of the amount of information given on the "science" of that setting. There is enough information here to role play out repair scenes, which makes the mechanics job a lot more fun. My only gripe is I do not understand the presence of the weird flying rules, any system you will use will have flying rules of its own, and the ones given in the book are not useful for combat just puttering around, this space could have been better used for more background on the Betty. I liked the breakdown rules though, very well done.
Fun Factor: The book was fun to read and given the two-fisted nature of the main game it will be fun to play.
