I normally tell people to skip Prima guides because they are usually very poorly written, but this guide is a definate exception to that rule! Not only is it a treasure trove of information (much of which was left out in the previous PMD: Time/Darkness guides), but the data tables are actually alphabetized this time! Truly, it's an excellent guide with lots of useful information including dungeon item drops (and rarity), wild Pokemon levels (including listing in the Pokedex ALL dungeons in which each Pokemon is found), beautiful extra artwork (wonder orbs and seed art are scatter throughout the guide), and of course the essentials (like evolution data, storyline, Pokedex, etc.). I don't normally leave glowing reports on guides these days (since the end of the NP guides), but this one surpassed my expectations. If you are looking for a good guide for the PMD Explorers series, this is the one to buy. Trust me, I have them all, and this is by far the best. The only small thing I would point out as akwurd for veteran players is that they alphabetized the Pokedex instead of listing by national Pokedex number. This seperates the evolutions, but makes the guide much easier for a newer or younger player to use (those who are not as familiar with the national Pokedex numbers).

In short, it's a really nice guide, very well written, very informative, and very nicely laid out. My kudos to the staff! (I hope the same team gets assigned to the HeartGold/SoulSilver guide and will apply the same kind of thorough and organized skill to its production.)

PS: For those who don't know, this is a strategy guide to a video game (specifically "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky"), not a storybook. It's intended for those who like to know every detail about the game so they can plan out advanced strategies, catch every Pokemon, and/or find all the items. It's only useful to someone who has the game (and really likes it). It's not really something you could read to your child at bedtime, since it's primarily data tables and charts listing elements of the game.

Severly used is more like it.. Said lightly used, it was in horrible condition but considering price it's not bad

This was a Christmas gift for my grandson. He LOVES it and has not put it down. This added to his Pokemon game collection.

I got this book and the game for my son for Christmas....He loves it! It has helped him with learning strategies and playing the game. It was a great buy and I am very happy about finding it. He also likes playing the original Pokemon card game and says it has helped him learn about the characters and their "abilities/powers" more. Now he is able to beat his brother at both games- the pokemon cards and the DS game.Thanks!
