I am a long-time player of WoW (since May, 2005) and have 20 toons, both Horde and Alliance on two accounts. I am always looking for a good guide on the internet, whether it is for leveling, gold accumulation, or trading. So, when I saw this guide listed on Amazon, I jumped at the chance to check it out. Unreadable is the best way to sum up my impression of this guide - and I mean that literally. The comparable Alliance leveling guide is much better in format and layout, but it is outdated (see my review of that product)World of Warcraft: Alliance Leveling guide.

By following this guide, a Horde toon can be efficiently leveled from 1-70. It is assumed that your toon is created as a Blood Elf and starting in Eversong Woods. If you don't want to create a Blood Elf, there are helpful guides for the Undead and Tauren races up to level 12 on the first page - then move your toon to Ghostlands to continue following the guide. This guide accomplishes its goal, and with dedication, a player can level to 70 within a short period of time. This guide will take you throguh the Outlands to Shadowmoon valley (The game has moved on since this point, but the guide can still be used).

The format and layout of this guide is terrible. It appears that they have reprinted screenshots from a website, and the font and pitch are so small as to be unreadable. The maps and accompanying text cannot be read. The printed portion of each page only takes up about ½ of the space available. A much better guide is the well-known downloadable internet guide by Jame ([...]). This link is for the newest version. I have used Jame's guides to level my toons and I like them very much. I have not found any leveling guides for either Horde or Alliance that I like better.

DON'T BUY THIS GUIDE - YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY THAT YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY.

I hope you find this review helpful.

My 9-year-old who has recently gotten very interested in World of Warcraft ordered this book in hopes of obtaining some secrets or tips about how to get his characters to a higher level quicker than usual.
Instead, this book seems to be an almost incomprehensible series of charts detailing what quests should be taken in what order. However, there is no written explanation of how to accomplish these quests or even how to use the book. Neither my son nor myself (although I must admit I am not very familiar with WOW) were able to make head or tail of any part of this book. As far as we can tell, there are no tips or tricks included.
Perhaps if you’re an advanced WOW user you might understand this book, but my guess would be if you’re an advanced WOW user, you probably wouldn’t need this book in the first place.
Save your money.

to be honset this looks like it was made by a 7th grader. Sure the cover is nice and the information is good, but the text and pictures look like they were done on an home printer. The size and font of the information is so small i need glasses and a magnifying glass to even read the thing.

Not worth the paper it is printed on. Poor print quality, no detailed directions or explanations, and not all classes included. Looks like something a 10 year old would put together.
