Summary: Volo's wanderings pay off for DMs
Review: Ed Greenwood does it again! Volo's Guide to the Dalelands is a book that you don't want to do without if you're a DM that is fond of the Dalelands region of the Forgotten Realms. It's got the always enjoyable style of Volo, with comments (and of course, witty remarks!) thrown in from Elminster.

Besides all that, it's full of little tidbits of information that you, as the DM, can work with to make stories jump out just from a whisper of a hint of an idea.

And, as always, the listings and descriptions of various inns, taverns, shops, etc. are invaluable to giving your players a feel for the game.
