Urban Dressing: Mining Town in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with major sections linked. The Contents is to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is decent. The text maintains a two column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a couple of generally appropriate black and white images. Presentation is okay.
This is another in a series of thematic supplements. As is appropriate for the theme, the various results from the tables are connected to mining. Though it could be used to flesh out a mining-themed town, parts could easily be used elsewhere. Urban Dressing: Mining Town can be found by clicking here.
