Query: Rises above poor quality D&D products of recent release

Recently the authors of D&D 3.5 have been cranking out $50 hard cover books with content at best suited for a magazine like Dragon. But the Spell Compendium is a complilation from many works, good and bad, that is actually useful to game play. The pure volume of spells is amazing. Yes, you will find real head scratchers mixed in with outstanding and balanced spells, but the impact this text will have on your game is immediate. You'll never need the Dungeon Masters Guide Two or the Players handbook two either, but you will want to carry the Spell Compedium with you to every game.
