After reading some reviews I decided to buy this Collection. I started playing WoW about 1 month ago and enjoy it thoroughly, but the main problem I had was finding quests and then where to complete them since the world is so big. Well this "collection" is not what I was looking for. Perhaps I should have read the product description I little more closely... But I dont think that would have helped, since they do not tell you that the "Dungeon Companion 2" is for, which is high level players (60+). The "Burning Crusade" guide is poorly put together and definitely lacks detail. It will help the two added classes with Burning Crusade through level 20, but the general layout is poorly put together. If you buy the "Battle Chest" edition of WoW all of this information is already in there. It lists out the new equipment, but doesn't tell you where or how to get it. And the two "bonus" items it comes with (discounts on websites) are both EXPIRED! Awesome, I can't wait to not use them!

For the $15 I paid for this I wouldn't say it was a bad deal, it just sucks that I won't really be able to use it for another two to three months. I will never be able to use the discounts. If you're like me and looking for the quests you should do and where to go at what level, do yourself a favor and just get the information online for free. Then when you get to lvl 50+ think about getting this.

great addition to WOW, as it allows you to further investigate areas before actually going there, and allows you to formulate an appropriate strategy.

Yes all the information that are in these books are online. Yes... places, names, items, quest do change in the game of World of Warcraft, which are easily changeable on Thotbot and other online WOW help sites, but cannot change in print until a new edition comes out. But these guides are very helpful. In the middle of an instance battle, or for boss battles, these guides become invaluable. Everything is at your fingers. These books contain guides, helpful hints, boss victories, hundreds and hundreds of charts of just about every item, easy, hard or almost impossible to get. If you are a WOW player, then these guides will help you immensely.

The product came just as promised. Also I input the wrong shipping address but I was able to get a hold of the seller and he changed the address. The book showed up on time and was in perfect condition.

This is an excellent beginner book when starting the online game World of Warcraft. Will get you going on 'how to' if you have no idea of how to build a character and get started in playing.

I just received this today and though amazon describes this kit as being the burning crusade book and the dungeon companion book, all of the reviews talk about three books to include the master guide and the maps book. Ok this is what you get when you buy this kit. The burning crusade strategy guide and the dungeon companion. Nothing more noting less, two books, no map book, no master guide.

When it says buy this book with the wow burning crusade book...don't. It comes with the set, another thing this does not come with is the atlas and the page number total listed is wrong, meaning only two books. Sadly I thought it included the atlas. Well, I give it 5 stars for information for the game, but 3 stars for description of the set.

Ok this review is for the product description given instead of the product itself. Im confused here because according to the product description the product contains the Burning Crusade strategy guides. Then when you scroll down and read some of the reviews they talk about about an atlas given as well as strategy guides for the original WOW game itself also mentioning that there is no info on the Buring Crusade expansion. So Amamzon which one is it? I wouldnt buy this product until Amazon does a serious overhaul of the product description that is listed on this site.

I'm a portuguese pc games collector and a HUGE RPG's fan...Right now i'm having a hard time to "find" some time to play games (work issues...) but the passion never fades...I've played a lot of WOW and Oblivion and therefore having this wonderfully designed strategy collection made sense at the time...and still does...

As said in the title, this product contains information that is easily accessed for free over the internet. The only exclusive features it truly has are the Penny Arcade comics. If you value your money, then use Google, not Brady.
