This book is essential to playing a good Toreador in any edition of the game.

Groundbreaking and enlightening are the best words to describe this installment of the series. Upon initial inspection, Clan Toreador appears to be a decadent clan of sybarites that leech off human arts, lacking in intelligent judgement. This book redeems the Toreador in my eyes. It fleshes them out and gives them a much greater personality and depth than the Core Rule Books of all editions. The goals of the Toreador become much more tangible once you read about them in this volume, so it is highly recommended that you purchase Clanbook: Toreador. There is more to this seemingly hollow clan than meets the eye.

I ordered this book in print-on-demand form. The product delivered was clear and crisp, with a tight spine—the same quality as a mass-printed Clanbook, if not better.

As for the book itself: It's great. The book heavily focuses on Clan Toreador as mankind's hungry shadow, champions of the finest elements of humanity with a distinct tendency to destroy what they most cherish. It very much downplays earlier-edition renditions of the Toreador as a clan of useless art snobs; the Revised Toreador are sensation junkies, chasing the feeling of being alive again either directly or through proxies, leaving a trail of broken dreams and incomplete obsessions in their wake.

The book's writing is fast-paced and engaging; the sections written 'in character' manage the trick of giving the narrators memorable and distinct personalities and voices, rather than just droning on and on like undead encyclopedias. All in all, it does a lot to add depth to a clan that can be hard to get past the surface of for many players.
