Reception edit

The reviewer from Pyramid commented: "When Wizards picked up the Eberron line, you knew there'd be a slew of what to see, where to go, who to kill supplements. We've seen a few, but for general interest, the Explorer's Handbook is a good reference." The reviewer also noted that "This book begins with one of the best introductions ever and ends with the treasures your journeys rightfully earn you. In between it takes a broad view, going wide and surprisingly deep ... and you're halfway through the book before you get into specific hotspots."[1]
