<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

I think there's too much science in the world to fit it all into one book. And even if you could, that would almost cheapen it, right? It's kind of like saying "Here's all the knowledge in the world, knowledge that people over thousands of years in countless worlds have spent their lives to generate. It was small enough to fit into this book." Besides, field guides are more fun to read!

-Spectre- I completely agree. Some of the writers of dimensional entries have unique but quite lovely styles.
