There are a lot of great ideas for color and design for the built interiors, but I found the interior furnishings and accessories to be ameteurish and do not live up to the professional standard of the architecture that contains it. The furnishings are rather middle of the road contemporary country style and do not suit the carefully orchestrated design concepts of the architectural designer. For instance the sofas are large and clunky, and are upholstered in a bland fabric - none of which would ever been found in a house of this type of traditional Swedish home.
With that caveat I highly recommend the book to those who admire the Scandinavian style and especially to anyone planning to design and build a home in this style.

However, screens have their uses, mainly as a quick reference for charts and as a means of hiding maps and dice rolls. The "Call of Cthulhu Keeper's Screen" does the job just fine, and organizes the charts in a logical manner. The artwork on the front is not great, and could use improvement. It can be distracting to players.
The main defect of this screen is the misprint where they did not add the numbers to the "Strength vs. Resistance" chart. This is one of the most important charts in the game, and I am gobsmacked that such a major defect made it onto the market.
If you are running "Call of Cthulhu," it will be useful to have a screen. Just beware of the limitations.
The screen also comes with a booklet containing a highly-decent adventure set in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It's nothing ground-breaking, nor is it particularly long, but neither is it fluff thrown in as mere filler, either. It's not at all a bad adventure.
Finally, there are also foldout charts, one with weapons, and one with spells. Both are pretty handy. Some of the "Spot rules for whatever" from the rulebook are reprinted on these loose pages, as well as some blank character sheets.
Overall, a decent product for the price, but a far cry from being "the essential Keeper's aid." If you like to have a cool screen to use, this is a good one, if you don't mind correcting the resistance table on it. You also get some handy stuff along with it, but there is nothing here that, to me, makes this product stand out as anything more than average.
