There's lots of great info in BradyGames' new (up to date as of Summer, 2006) guide to Blizzard Entertainment's phenomenal game, World of Warcraft. Unfortunately, the bevy of crammed-in hints hardly makes up for the permeating, abysmal spelling and grammar mistakes. On average, there's at least one major spelling or grammar error in every text paragraph. *Any* proofreader, human or computer, would've caught these distractions; frankly, they're embarrassing and lessen the guide's credibility. BradyGames obviously paid more for game hints and skimped on the actual English writing and editing skills, ostensibly trying to rush publication before the game changed too much--Blizzard plans a major expansion to WoW in early 2007.
The mistakes make for an almost unreadable book, and I use the term "book" in the sense of "bound printed matter" only. This is a disappointment for anyone with a background that includes reading (i.e., anyone who can read this review).
If you're a hardcore WoW addict, there's not much new here. If you're a n00b (newbie), you'll learn a lot. And if you're an English teacher, I'd recommend making this a semester-long extra credit assignment in proofreading.
Lastly, watch your fingertips--the ink can smear and come off like a fresh copy of the New York Times, potentially making this infotome not just difficult to read, but truly illegible.

I had high hopes for this book, but it was just disappointing. The only thing I got out of this was that you could fish chests, and I'm new. I'd try and find a different book, and make a test account for the first 5 levels. I learned more that way then trough the book.

They tried to get as much into this book as possible, but reducing to font to microscopic was not the way to go. And they are still missing some of the maps. No city maps at all. Deadwind Pass is missing. And the maps are still the same as in the game, can't they make them better?
I wanted to find vendors, repair, banks, mailboxes and the auction houses not just in the cities, but anywhere. The area maps do list specific locations and specific characters which is very helpful for questing. They could have a more detailed map of the flight paths, as the tiny simplestic map doesn't have anything labeled as to locations. A beginner would be lost. It does have some good information about professions. And for character development the book is well done. Detailed charts of combat and healing abilities. And a lot of info for beginners. It also has a lot of quest info, if you can stand to read the tiny print.
I recommend this book, but you will need reading glasses or a magnifying glass.
