To Monk or not to Monk
This book is worth every penny if you love Diablo 3 and the world it's set in. First it's huge 493 pages, yes you read that right. Next it's got a great break down of everything you need to know if your just getting started in Sanctuary. From armor to maps to crafting this has it all and was a big help to me getting into Diablo for the first time. Also if you didn't get the CE artbook this is packed full of much of the same art. The cover is nice hardback black with reflective III on the front, the back has one of the horadic symbols I believe. The bookmark is quality as well, not to cheap it's actually metal! This is worth the full price here on Amazon it's usually a few dollars less if they are in stock.

Great item for collectors!
First I will say that this book is a great guide for introducing the game with the added bonus of some awesome concept art. However, it does only cover one play-through. (up to lvl30) The print quality is standard and lacks the luster to marvel anyone with the hopes of being impressed by great imagery, though it is very thorough. It also comes with a nifty little metal bookmark baring Diablo's melon. Overall, it is worth the buy if you appreciate the game.

Great guide for all D3 fans..
Pretty good walk through for Diablo 3. Printed pre-patch content, this won't have all of the latest info. Diablo is a pretty linear game, so it's hard getting lost. However, this guide has detailed info on each class, the baddies of the world. Also the art work is pretty good.

Better than average
I've been cautious of BradyGames guides since the original WoW guide was about half-full of completely useless information (a list of the names of every quest in the game, lists of item names that were spectacularly useless, etc.) and in general I have not found them to be as good as the Prima guides (like the spectacular Skyrim guide). But this one is actually very nice, and the majority of the information is potentially useful. It also seems pretty accurate in terms of matching up with the actual first release of the game. The Limited Edition comes with a metal bookmark (yawn) and a section on the armor artwork that was actually interesting to see, but otherwise is nothing special (the binding is nice though). The bookmark has a sharp point that may damage the top of a book's page(s) if you push it all the way down onto a page. The one thing I've found missing is a minimum-level information for item affixes. They tell you in a little box that each item affix has a minimum item level requirement, but they don't include that information in the list of affixes which was a bit annoying. But otherwise pretty much all the information you could want is in here. The authors clearly spent a lot of time playing the game on different classes, but they probably didn't have enough time to try out too many builds, so their character build advice is above average for such a guide, though still not really that useful. The full quest walk-throughs are provided for all four acts, but story information that isn't needed for fight strategy is omitted so it's not a complete spoiler for the story. I learned a number of things I didn't know before (the exact scaling for creatures based on the number of players in co-op for example) so the guide has actually been useful for us in playing the game. I didn't receive it until after the Normal play-through was complete, and that's probably the best way to do it so that you enjoy the story and whatnot the first time through, after which the guide becomes a useful reference as you proceed into Nightmare mode or roll a new class.

So Helpful.
This book was so helpful, for a while. unfortunately with so many updates being done the book became obsolete very soon. But the whole package was really nice. Bookmark kinda silly, but very happy with the purchase. And thankyou for the reasonable price, alot better than blizzard offered. Thanks.

A lovely addition to Diablo fans Diablo 3 items
The cover of this book is beautifully understated. The three 'claw marks' on the front appear to have been gouged into the cover, through the embossed surface, leaving demonic flames from underneath the surface exposed. Embossed patterns in the heavy card of the book cover add to the effect, and on the back an arcane symbol stands out in shining black on the matte black background. Note though that your hands must be absolutely clean when handling the book - the cover takes finger marks like a hero takes health globes, and once marked it's not easy to get clean. The gold coloured metal bookmark is packaged in a card container designed to hold it securely and protect it in transit. The bookmark is made in two pieces with the head of the prime evil riveted to the bookmark base. The head feels very solid but the bookmark end must be used with care as it will bend very easily if abused at all, which is the case with all metal bookmarks of this type and not a fault with the item. The book begins with a foreword by Jay wilson and an introduction then gives a fascinating timeline for events in the Diablo world. The hero's basics follows, which is a general guide to gaming in the Diablo 3 world. After that you get details on every hero class. The next 4 sections walk you through the game act by act, giving details of quests, events and areas including spawned dungeons. It's not complete however as there is no mention of the 'Lyceum' spawn anywhere within act 1 (the only act I know well at this point) which is a rare spawn area needed to complete an achievement within act 1, and so therefore must logically appear in that act. If anyone can give me a clue as to where the Lyceum spawns, or the Villager's Journal drops, I'd be eternally grateful. It was those two questions I hoped this guide would answer at this point and not finding them here is disheartening. The next section is on Artisans and Crafting, with all the crafting information included. Then we go into the loot system, with details on every item in the game, all possible affixes and base stats and their effects. Special item sets and their bonuses are listed and make me think that the item sets may be the true legendaries, however only time will tell. A detailed bestiary follows, with instructions on how to use it. I'd imagine that this would be useful in higher difficulties if a certain monster type is handing you your backside on a platter. Not something I've yet to worry about on normal difficulty. I've not encountered a monster type that I couldn't defeat with common sense and a couple of skill changes. The auction house is also explained in similar detail, and then every achievement in the game is listed, except for feats of strength. The method for getting them is not listed with them, only the achievement itself and whether it gives a banner reward whn gained. The last section in the book is the armor concept art, which is similar to that found in the art book of the Collector's edtion of the game. Lovely art work and explanations from the animators, designers and artists. The book itself is in full colour throughout, the pages are not heavier than a standard game guide, but the extras within and the metal bookmark make it good value for money at the RRP. As a part of the purchase price of the book you receive a code that allows you access to the online flash version of the game, this will be updated with game changes so although the printed version may end up being a pretty focus item for your wizard as changes are made in game, the online flash version will remain useful. (No, I couldn't find my missing Lyceum or the Villager's Journal on it either. Meh.) There are no maps in here, but with the random spawn system changing areas each time you access them within certain limits, maps would really be of little use. The information provided here is both beautifully presented and of a great deal of value. If you are a fan of the new game, then this limited edition will complete your current collection alongside your CE of the game, and if you couldn't get a CE then this gives you a taste of the artwork in the book that goes with it at an affordable price. If you loved the Book of Cain and the CE then you'll love this too, lots more pretty things for your eyes to feast on and some useful information on playing the game to go with it.

Magnifique
Très beau livre, reliure de qualité. La couverture donne tout de suite l'impression d'avoir un ouvrage que l'on ne va pas lâcher de suite. En ce qui concerne le contenu il s"agit d'un guide jeu, on retrouve le classique bestiaire au complet, l'inventaire ultra détallé et le fameux walkthrough. Bien que ce jeux ne doit pas poser de réel problème, il y a des petites infos sur l'artisanat (malheureusement pas assez mis en valeur, donc l'intérêt reste limité) des conseils sur les failles des uns et des autres qui sont bon à prendre. Puis reste bien sûr le coté objet collector.
