I absolutely love this book! It's one of the most evocative, beautiful, interesting to read RPG books that I've ever owned. Every page is jammed with so many interesting ideas, it's difficult to pick where to start using it. You can nearly pick any page, and nearly any paragraph and have something unique to center an entire game session.
It's worth noting that there tends to be a macabre cartoonish flavor to many of the pages/monsters/traps/diseases/locations, so this won't be a fit for every campaign. But what it does well is provide ton's of flavor, an amazing sense of danger and great exotic locales.
If you feel like your game needs something unique, fun and dangerous this is definitely worth a read.
