Minsc and Boo's is just what we needed right now. A lot of awesome stat blocks with interesting and intricate abilities, while keeping the traditional spellcasting that more recent books have foregone. I really love that aspect of this book; if you are reading this and want villains (or potential allies) with traditional spellcasting stat blocks, this is the book for you.
The multiple group patrons are very useful, and their service lists are comprehensive - they will surely be getting use at my table. The hometowns are a nice touch, and could easily be reskinned, but otherwise suit the locations they were made for.
There are presently some minor formatting mistakes within the book, but none which ruin or disrupt (the understanding of) the text.
Overall, if you're looking for a book of creatures that you can use as superiors for low-level parties, or adversaries for higher level parties, there is a lot of CR and fun characters to choose from. I would recommend this book to a friend for the spellcasting via spell slots alone. A feature I have been hoping would return.
Ordered the hardcover copy, and will enjoy adding it to my collection.
