Despite the fact they were yet another set of books, I've found that the Complete Handbooks wren't really that bad in terms of advice and campaign material.
One thing I always have trouble with was the idea of a shield reducing AC by 1. It's like the designers had never seen a recreated medieval battle. Shields were very important.
