10 / 10ShannonAOut of date now, but still a superb resource. Hopefully this Gaming Index can be the modern incarnation.
9 / 10owe for the fleshExtemely valuable resource. It's chock-full of classic art from game books too.
8 / 10BigJackBrassVery impressive and a superb reference for collectors, it's also a pretty good read thanks to the interviews and articles scattered throughout the text.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
