RuneScape is actually a fairly complicated game. Young people love to play it and there is actually a lot to learn to fully enjoy it. This book introduces and explains the basics, the various characters and some elements of strategy. It is targeted toward young readers between 9-12 years old and judging by the way I see these kids carrying the book around and the enthusiasm they have for it, it's a hit. When I look through it, I notice that there are a lot of good illustrations and the material is visually well presented. There is also enough text to make it worthwhile, but not overwhelming. This is a nice introduction and reference, if you play RuneScape yourself or you have a son or daughter who does, they will probably love this book.

This book is essential for advancing through the various levels of the game. It may be a bit too simplistic for older teenagers. However, it's a nice fast track to get more competitive in a short time.

This gives good coverage of Runescape - free side only. (The members side has lots of features not covered in this book. There seems to be no printed book covering that, altho there are many fan web sites.) The maps are the best part of the book for me; I get tired of using the online map where you have a little "window" into the whole map.
