Book Reviews of World of Warcraft Atlas, Second Edition
Book Review: Helpful, but could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
First, I really need to say that I'm a newbie to the game. I've only been playing WoW for about a month now, so I still have a lot to learn. I bought this book because I was tired of trying to find places on the in-game maps and the ones in the BradyGames Battle Chest guides.
The region maps in the book are fairly blurry, like they increased the size beyond the original and lost some picture quality along with it. It is used with a grid system like real maps are, which can or can't be helpful. While it does say, for example, that a Weapons merchant in Thunder Bluff is at D-6, there is no indication on the map as to where exactly they are within that square. You just have to run around that general area and see if you can find them.
However, that is only the case with regions. Smaller towns and camps have smaller, somewhat more detailed maps further back in the book. The images are a little more clear and look a lot like what the developers may have used to show themselves where everything is. Instead of the grid-system, there is a number put on the map. So if you're looking for Manrik in the Crossroads, you just look for the number 12 on the smaller map.
There is an index in the back where you can look up any character name you want, including rare spawns, and it will tell you the location(s) and grid mark, sometimes even a clue as to the exact location (i.e. "behind house")
It also details where all the flight points are on a world map, as well as detailed paths of boats and zeppelins. The world map also provides locations of Instances. The class and profession trainers are also listed, so you don't need to know the name to look them up, just find what you want and it will tell you the name and location of who you need.
All-in-all, it is very helpful. However, more details on the regions would be nice, such as numbers or letters within each grid square would be even more helpful (For instance: Weapons merchant mentioned above in D-6. It could be D-6-a, where the lowercase letter is in that square pinpointing their location). Better picture quality of the maps would be a pleasant addition as well.
The book itself is very attractive looking. It is helpful, but as my title states, it could be even better with a little more attention to detail.
