Summary: Incredibly bad 2008-11-20
Comment: This guide fails at almost every level. It's incomplete (missing many instances, and no information on raids or heroic settings), it's horribly laid out and in some cases it's just wrong.
90% of the book really just feels like a file dump of a game manual. Lists of every skill (old and new) with nothing more then their icon and description for example. Thanks! I certainly can't get that in game by say... talking to any class trainer. Professions are even worse with the name, level and mats listed but not what the skill creates. Trying to decide which profession to level first? Hope you can figure it out based on names of the items alone.
The layout makes the book almost unreadable. The lisst of much of the loot tells you the stats and type, but not where it's worn. Some you can figure it out from the name ("Spaulders of..."), but come on. Beyond that the stats of an item are laid you as a sentence. Like this, "Leather. +40 AGI, +33 Critical, +32 Hit, +44 STAM" Just like that, line after line. Even incomplete the lists might have been useful if they were better laid out. As is, they are unreadable and useless.
I've only read parts, but even skimming I came across a blatant error. They seem to have confused the introductory quest lines for the Sholazar factions with the actual method for changing allegiance. Since this is like to be asked endlessly in chat you'd think they'd get that right at least.
The Dungeon Guides Brady did for WoW and TBC were very good. They suffered from a little of the bad loot layout, but they were accurate and readable. This guide is simply a rip off. It tells you almost nothing, is incomplete, hard to read, and simply wrong. Go to wowwiki or anywhere and print the pages out. You'll end up with a 100x better guide.

Comment: I bet this is a really good book, but I'm too busy playing "World of Warcraft" to check it out.
