Reception

Stewart Wieck reviewed The 1990-1991 Who's Who Among Play-by-Mail Gamers in White Wolf #21 (June/July 1990), rating it a 2 out of 5 and stated that "A major fault with the volume is the low quality of production. It's a 160+ perfect bound book, but the interior pages are newsprint paper and therefore smudge very easily. This seems a poor choice if the book is supposed to be reference that can withstand constant consultation.." [1]
