Okay...so it may not have been the most informative strategy book of all time...but i learned a lot from it at its at least worth checking out.

i thought the game guide was a big help towards gameplay and help me with levels that i could have never finished my thanks i think ill order 1 more for a friend and tell you friends about it. it will help alot.

This book is mostly fluff. The 1st 75 pages are devoted to how much wood and stone it takes to build buildings and how long it takes to construct the buildings. This information can easily be learned by playing the game for a week. The 2nd half of the book (next 75 pages) deals with how to play the single player scenarios. This may be of help to beginners, but most folks find the single player scenarios easy enough to win without help. The book offers almost NO advice on how to play specific strategies against other online players (except for 2 pages of weak general information at the end of the book). The book does offer an occasional tip, but most of the tips are obvious to the casual player. This book would have been better titled "A Beginner's Guide to Settlers III".
