A `Who's Who' Of Another Kind ~ Friends And Foes In The World Of Warcraft
As a new and enthusiastic newcomer to the online game `World of Warcraft' I was immediately drawn to this 400 page softcover volume containing colorful images of all the creatures the intrepid adventurer is apt to encounter on his/her journey through this highly detailed cyber landscape. Since I'm a novice I wanted to learn all I could about these inhabitants and where they are most likely to be encountered. I was disappointed to discover that the information concerning there whereabouts wasn't included. Another area of concern is the fact that the information that is provided is printed so small that you literally need a magnifying glass to read it (really).

Be that as it may, I bought it anyway. The images are definitely eye catching and evocative and printed on high quality, glossy paper (However I do wish it was a hardcover edition). 'World of Warcraft Bestiary' may not serve as a useful guide to your journey at hand, but it will be nice to look at during a break from the game.

Overall....disappointing
When I heard Bradygames was making this guide, I was excited! Wow, comprehensive information about all the denizens of World of Warcraft in my lap! No more looking them up individually online!

Sadly, this guide is woefully lacking such key information as:
- Where they are located (even a general zone would've been helpful)
- Immunities/weaknesses
- Elite/Non-Elite

Because of this, I find myself not looking anything up in this guide, and still go online for all of my bestiary needs.

If you just want to know how many different creatures inhabit World of Warcraft, and want to see what so-and-so boss looks like, then this guide is an interesting read. If you need any crucial information to keep you alive in an encounter, or even just to FIND a creature, this guide is really no help at all.

Not very useful
I concur with the other reviews of this book. Without disclosing the actual location of NPC this book is not very useful. Considering the other Dungeon manuals also include the loot that drops from bosses this information could also have been included.

Pass on this book and get the strategy guide or the dungeon guides instead.

No practical use
This book is purely academic, with no applicable use in the game. Yes, it gives you the stats, etc, but nothing else. If the book was going to be of any use, it needs to include the location of the mobs, what they drop, and any quests (if any) they're the target of.

WoW Bestiary
Excellent product and is a pretty good help for looking up beasts info in the game. It does help to let you know what you may be up against in a given area.
