 Waste of money. February 11, 2008

A complete waste of money. I expected detailed maps of everything on World Of Warcraft. It is just blown up maps from the computer. Don't make the same mistake I did by buying this product!!!
 I like it, but its not perfect December 9, 2007

Nice book and I am glad that I bought it. Good things are nice big pictures shows all the towns and where the NPC are located and basically what they do. Shows the flight, Zeplin and ship paths. Shows what regions connect to the one you are in. if you are in atlas and want to see the specifics on a town it gives you the page number to go to. The Bad, was written before outland so there is nothing on that area. I wish the atlas would tell you what areas are horde, contested or alliance. Also would be nice to tell you if a town was horde, alliance or neutral. there has been at least one new flight path added that I know of since this book was published. I am glad that I bought book and I do use it a lot, but mabey they will add more info on the second edition. If you are new to game then atlas will be the greatest help to you.
 Internet databases and forums are more reliable September 11, 2007

Thankfully, I don't own this book, but I've used it a few times. Needless to say, it's junk.
It's built pretty well, I'll give them that, but it should have been a spiral edge (so it's easier to reference things in a flash). Despite the binding, it's pretty well built.
However, for a guide, it is poorly set up. Way too much NPC nonsense, maps aren't well developed (both visually and information-wise). The hand-drawn maps (always a crowd-pleaser) are pretty good but still lack info.
All of the information in the atlas is very general, and therefore not entirely helpful. Rare spawn info is easier to find than online searches, but even that cannot justify spending any amount of money on this book.
For a game that is constantly being revised and adding more content, it seems criminal to pay for such a book since you will almost always be missing something, regardless of the edition. When it comes down to it, WoW databases have so much more detail, hints, and tips to complete almost any challenge you meet in the game. If you are ridiculously dependent on having a physical copy of a guide, I would strongly urge you to save your money and wait for another revision copy to come out.
 Almost like Cheating! August 26, 2007

What a fantastic find for the World of Warcraft player. Makes playing almost like cheating. You have maps to every region, city and camp and can locate vendors, class and profession trainers, flight masters, Rare Mobs,and even specialty vendors! This book is well worth the price. I think what I like most is that I can continue to look at the map online of where I am while I find the corresponding map in the book and then can look for what I need with great ease. So much faster than going back and forth to Thottbot.

Got his for my fiance as a birthday present - along with some other WoW books. This is the one he always turns back to. It's useful for a wide variety of questions, and easy to read to boot!
