Summary: Save your money...
Comment: This was a pretty worthless book for me. All it did is regurgitate the docs that are all contained in the game or in the games manual. Having it all in printed form is nice, but not really that helpful since things are easily accessible from the game.
This book did not contain any useful strategies or suggestions for being successful at the game. I wonder if those that wrote it have actually even played the game?
I found FAR more valuable strategies and tips for free on-line. Many experienced and successful players have written articles about how to get started, how to use the rules to your advantage, real pros/cons of choices, and how to advance your character the fastest. These are the things I expect a strategy guide to do, and at that, this book failed miserably.
For example, this book provides little information to help you choose a starting profession. All they do is dump out all the various charts and expect you to digest them all and make some sense of them. It had no firm opinions on anything.
This is a huge and complex game, with a massive amount of options and choices. I read the entire book, and it helped me little in making the proper decisions. After reading a few on-line articles (that were free) from experienced players, I scraped my existing character and started over. By following the advice of people that actually played the game, I was able to advance my character much more quickly, and I had a lot more fun doing it.

Summary: Great if you are a new MMORPG player.
Comment: This strategy guide doesn't give any more information than the instruction manual to the game. But it is ordered effectively and has helpful charts on weapons, professions, etc. When I started playing this game, it was my first MMORPG and I had no idea what I was doing. The instruction booklet to the game didn't help me figure it out. This strategy guide did, beginning with character creation and taking me through professions. And it offers extremely helpful tips on etiquette and how to communicate with other players online. If you are a veteran MMORPGer, then this book won't tell you anything you don't know. But if you are a rookie like me, it will get you on the fast track to success.

Summary: Okay, not great
Comment: The manual in SWG is, despite its length, generally lacking in several areas (as is often the case with MMORPGs), and so this book is sometimes a handy reference. Interesting tips about starting out professions and races are included, and there are some town maps and some charts and tables that are useful. In all, however, it could have been *more* useful and to a certain extent it is rather out of date because things have been changed in many areas since the release of the book. If you can find a cheap copy, it's worth a look, but I wouldn't recommend paying full retail for it.
