I just took this for a spin, and I am glad that I purchased it. I've been kicking around ideas for a new campaign world for a few years now, based on a map of Eurore during the last glacial maximum. From a bunch of ideas splashing around my head, this product helped me to forge a coherent world map and detailed initial setting in less than a week. The tables and charts also helped me to avoid many of the pitfalls that have plagued my past homebrewed worlds, most of which felt shallow, like movie sets with nothing behind them. My newly-designed world already feels more real than any I've designed in the past, and I lay the credit squarely at the feet of this book.
