Hall of Many Panes: Any good?

I haven't seen much discussion of this one. Is it any good?
I read the review on RPGnet which describes it as a planar matrix the PCs are trapped in. They must climb up a cylinder (the Hall of Many Panes) and enter each pane as they go. In each pane (51 in total) is a short planar adventure. Some silly, some serious. Once they finish all 51, they can rescue the person they are seeking and escape the Hall.
From what I've read, the adventure doesn't really appeal to me but I was thinking it could have some Castle Greyhawk applications.
Has any one used this product in their campaign or played it?

I have never even heard of this adventure!
Can you give some more details (publisher, etc.) so that I can look it up?
This sounds like something I might use in conjunction of the Plane of Mirrors (mentioned in the Manual of the Planes).

It was written by Gary Gygax, and published by Trollord games IIRC in both d20 and LA game systems.

Yes, the adventure was published by Troll Lord Games a few years ago under the d20 system. It is a boxed set with 3 books and was written by Gary Gygax.

When it came out, I dismissed it. Troll Lords is having a clearance sale at the moment, though, and you can pick it up for $10 (original price $39.95).

Thanks for that. Yes, that's the review I've read. The reviewer has an amusing writing style but I was hoping for more detail and any Greyhawk goodness.

There's a ton of stuff in this. Some of it is good, some of it is bad.
The set up is the party trying to free a quasi-deity, or hero-deity type being that Zagyg, etc. has trapped. The party has to visit a bunch of demi planes via panes/gates that float around in the giant tower. Other than the name Zagyg, I can't recall any Greyhawk related material. It's not bad. Worth it for sure if you can get it on sale.
