Deals with tomes, carries forward relics, and introduces a new subtype that does some search for each faction. Sounds pretty good to me. And the three cards spoiled are awesome.

I'm pretty excited about it. Tomes are very iconic of the Cthulhu mythos, a lot of the stories center around finding a book, searching for a book, translating a book, etc... Making these a bigger part of the game and designing new character mechanics around the use of Tomes sounds like a winner to me.
