That's even the case with games where a book like this is actually useful
(that is, games not based in reality as much as ME is). For Shadowrun, for
example, the world books always sold worst, not to mention got the most
complaints -- mostly from people actually living in the area covered by the
book. With ME, I'd say it would have to be a damn good world book to
actually have it sell when some tourist guides and road maps can give the
GM as good a picture of the place.
