Itss a wonderful map book with good details on basic things such as travel paths, vendors, trainers, herbs, mining etc. This book is awesome. And its a large hardbound glossy book for only twenty bucks. and has just what it advertises. (I don't understand folks complaining that a book dosen't have things it never said it did). I'll definitely be buying the other two. I'm extremely happy with it.
I want, and will purchase more to have on-hand for reading and making references to while I journey through the game.This is a tremendous reference book and I highly recommend it. What kind of rational, thinking person purchases a beautiful hardcover reference book to cut it up. One guy in here is complaining that many maps are printed on 2 pages and span across the binding and complains that they can't be "cut out".Please tell me. this is an invaluable one to have.If you're into the game. We need many books. and indeed.
It is breathtaking and often staggering in it's expanse and enormity. if you play World of Warcraft you know this game is absolutely huge. This game will always be changing. maps change, creatures change, anything can be rehashed and redeveloped in the game at any time.This is a reference book. I can't remember reading so much whining and nit-pic for the most inconsequential and lame reasons. Things change. Life changes.
This is just one, very excellent, very thorough and very well-designed and constructed reference book for the game of World of Warcraft. I have this one and "Dungeon Companion" and yes. Teachers, lawyers, students and professional people who require a reference book do not have just one. Many of the complaints I'm reading are that this book could be "so much better".The bottom line is. I also recommend, that for the scope of this game.
Doctors don't have just one book. why. you will find you need more than one guide at your fingertips. buy it.
I was disappointed to see that not even the new harbor area of Stormwind was shown in the book. It's always nice to have the latest guide book, and that's why I bought this after installing the Lich King. Enough of the original game area had changed with this latest expansion that I thought it was time for a new map book. Additions like that in the game were the primary reason for my buying. I would hesitate to upgrade any of my books in the future, just because they were updated editions, until I have talked with other people to see whether there is really any new additions to the old content.
physically the book is made well. So a lot of the data is out of date now.Like blizzard normally does, it looks pretty but is pretty useless.
Unfortunately, it would seem this has failed to be.The maps are placed in such a manner as to cover all one page and 1/3 of the next. The hope for this product for me was a great printed version of the very awesome maps the player uses when exploring the world of warcraft.
The real problem with this is the game ever changes, so what is the point. over the binding, so forget about cutting then out.
2nd they are real maps but they have a graph put over them to 'locate' place on it. If you are seeking information for the game in a book format this is very little help because it is out of date and lacking good layout.
But it isn't worth what it is printed on.
The book is really quite useful when you are in new lands. A really good map of that would be nice. I think the city maps could have been way more detailed. And places like the Undercity have several levels. I guess part of the fun is getting lost and learning your way around. All in all, I am glad I bought the atlas.
