2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed is too mild at statement., November 12, 2005

By	Jeff Martin "[e-mail]" (Radcliff, KY. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: World of WarCraft Atlas (Bradygames Official Strategy Guide) (Hardcover)

Although I didn't buy this from Amazon, I still wanted to state my feelings for this book. And I feel cheated. I was expecting highly detailed maps, showing spawn areas, NPCs, etc. I would have also expected a series of maps for dungeons/instances. Instead, I've got a book of maps that, like others have said, are nothing more than blown-up versions of the maps from in-game. And there are some major errors; from mislabeled flight routes for the Alliance, to NO DUNGEON MAPS!! My advice for others looking to buy this. DON'T!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, November 4, 2005

By	Michael Tipaldo (Valrico, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: World of WarCraft Atlas (Bradygames Official Strategy Guide) (Hardcover)

I was hoping to get a pure atlas revision of brady's strategy guide. (ie no class or armor information)

What I got instead was
blown-up pictures with only npc's listed, no quests.
30 Pages of NPC by alphabetical order.
2 pages of flight paths, that don't have them all listed.
It's perfect bound, not spiral, so its hard to keep open an flat.

It's not a bad book, but I would save my money for a revised brady strat guide

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, November 30, 2005

By	EDG (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: World of WarCraft Atlas (Bradygames Official Strategy Guide) (Hardcover)

Like other reviewers here, I expected a lot more from this book.

The front half is just blown up maps from the game with grid overlays on and the locations of vendors and griff points. (I should note it's accurate only up to patch 1.7 - it still has the old Silithus map, not the new one).

The second half is basically hand-drawn maps of the towns, which are fairly nice. However, there are no maps of instances in here (which I fully expected).

At the back are lists of minerals, skins, and other stuff. Some of this is useful - the list of Rare Mobs is particularly interesting - but it's nowhere near enough to make getting this book worthwhile. I'm feeling like I rather wasted my money on this one, even if I did get it cheaper than the listed price.
