Great product.
I only started imersing myself into VtM in late 2019 but this edition offers great extra resources for running the classic V20 campaigns.
I think V5 is more accessible to newe players in terms of game mechanics and is much more coherent. But V5 can't compare to V20 (this edition) in terms of how the book is designed.
V5 reads looks like some teen vampire magazine while this one truly is magnificent. It's an ancient lore book full of knowledge about vampires. The illustrations and different sections also make sure it's far superior in style.
One should handle this book with care though. The Hardback edition is actually pretty light and I can see it can probably rip easily. I don't have such problems so far and I had this book for about 6 months now. Just handle it nicely and it should be cool!
