That's just not right. (and the cover should've been 2.25% higher). *grin*
I thought it was a great guide, obviously geared more to the newcomer (it's been said, but should be repeated... no book smaller than the encyclopedia brittanica could satisfy this crowd). I had no problems with the writing style. Although that same style made it obvious to me the author was a professional strategy guide writer. Which is fine too. The biggest problem is the pictures are indeed atrocious, but I think that subject was hashed to death in another thread in a galaxy far, far away.
