Summary: Believe it or not, this can help a newbie
Comment: I have read all of the other reviews of this book, but it seems to me most of the feedback has been from people who already were experienced in the game. How else could they point out how inaccurate it is? I believe I bring a different perspective to the guide, because I bought it only a few days after buying the game, and it has helped tremendously in a few areas, such as choosing a character, values of weapons and armour, what effects a spell has, etc.... Having a book in hand that you can refer to at a glance is much more helpful than having to search the web for clues as to what to do in the game. In fact, the guide includes a section specifically pointing out good websites to visit for more information, which helped me determine the race and charactor I wanted to select.
Admittedly, I was hoping for more meat in the book, like walkthroughs for the first couple of levels for each type of character, including strategies for early success, but all in all, the book can be a benefit a new player, if nothing else than as a reference guide. Don't be put off by people telling you that everything is wrong. If you are like me, and like to have more information readily available than the pathetic manual that comes with the game, then this may be for you.

Summary: A Necessary Evil?
Comment: Ah, the naysayers and complainers have been having their way with this book, I see.
Yes, most of the information is available online, if you want to track it all down and complie it yourself. And yes, there are some changes to the game over time (usually pretty minor, let's be honest).
But the value of having ALL of this in one place shouldn't be underestimated. Lists upon lists -- starting stats and skills for all the races and classes, lists of who gets what spell at what level, descriptions of spells, weapons and armor, character creation and basic play, maps of starting locations... not to mention must-read sections like "EQ Jargon," "Play-Nice Rules," and the fun role-playing element of "emote" commands!
I don't use it every day anymore, but it's always at hand for starting up new characters, or when my casters are going to get new spells, or ??
Why worry about finding the information? This book is well worth the price.

Summary: Basic Guide. Outdated Now
Comment: I found this book invaluable before being able to alt+tab out of EQ. Now it's a bit outdated and the information can easily be accessed online.
I still reference this book for basic skill lists and basic recipes for tradeskills. The merchant lists for the cities that do have maps are pretty handy.
