past posts and I think the TLG main site indicated that the CKG was going to be a larger book - priced at 29.99 instead of 19.99, and 240ish pages instead of 129.. we can hope that it stays this way.

Curious. if you are brand new to role playing (I'm assuming), how'd you hear about C&C, and how'd you decide dip your foot here instead of the 800-pound gorilla named Dungeons and Dragons?

When you do read the module, read it with the maps nearby and look at them while reading the various entries... you'll see what I mean about some of the inconsistencies.
