I bought this book hoping to get some extra information and handy tips to enjoy my game of Guild Wars: factions. How wrong was I...
If I don't take into account the typo's, this book has been put together poorly. To give you an example: Troll Unguent (a ranger skill that enhances health) is described in the book as a spirit spell....) There is also no general map you can take out (fortunately I bought factions collectors edition which had a map). Some of the small area maps in the book are of a very low quality and almost devoid of any information. Another bad point; they describe (very briefly) several build you can make with spells/skills that are not listed in the book. So if you're a new player and want to check out what all the spells/skills in Cantha can do...don't bother, you're not going to get them at all.

I bought this for the maps and artwork after having completed the game on two characters. I also wanted a sneak preview of the elite missions. I opened it up with gleeful anticipation of pretty GuildWars things for the eyes to feast on and became more and more disappointed the further I read. The content made me want to post the thing back to the publisher with red pen thoughout for corrections and omissions. Firstly the maps are not useable; the graphics on the maps are so dark you can see no details at all which is pretty hopeless if you want to try and go from one point in the game to another using them. Secondly the errors and omissions are just... well... did the people who wrote this actually play the same game as I'm playing? Anyone who's ever played a ranger knows "Troll ung" is not a "nature ritual which creates a level 1.. 10 spirit." Good grief.
I had a conversation with my guildmates about 101 uses for the guide - the best we could come up with was use it as a starter offhand or as loo paper. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.
The only plus side to it is the pretty pictures.

The guidebook it well written, plenty of artwork to show the player what the locations are like.
Information on locations, monsters, classes, etc.
The guidebook is well worth the price.
