Paladin Press has always been the single best resource for how-to freaks and inside-information junkies. Now, we've put together our most engaging book ever: we commissioned a slew of brand-new articles from all your favorite authors – plus some new ones you are sure to love – and distilled excerpts from all corners of the Action Library, from best-sellers and hidden gems. The result is a wildly eclectic compilation of dangerously fun topics that offers something for every taste.
