The books add details that add complications and for me, unless the GM can memorize it all - which is usually me - really slows down the game. It ruins the flow. I run a really loose game to keep the story flowing as smooth and fast as possible, so I don't want numerous volumes of details. I want the details to be color in everyone's heads, in the settings. And I got a lot of compliments on the games that I ran.
