I recently remember taking part in a debate about what is the best type of RPG source material: Crunch or story. It's highly debateable, of course, but my answer at that point was crunchy story.
The Compleat Librum ov Gar'Udok's Necromatic Artes delivers this. It has a compelling story (you can tell by just the name, can't you?) and rock solid stats (if you have any of the Librum Equitis books, you know what I'm talking about), and beautiful art.
The crunch content is bigger than the story content, but that is not to say there isn't enough story. In fact, there's story in abundance. You need a necromatic villain, complete with backstory? You've got it. You want more undeadness (this is a new word I just invented) in your campaign? Then you'll love this.
