Not very good condition

This copy was supposed to be very good condition but there are bends as well as tears in the cover and two stickers also I had to peel off

Great Information

Before I went out to buy this guide, I wondered if it had maps. I read the reviews and saw that it DID have maps, and color ones too! Let me correct this now... there are NO maps and the color section is not map related whatsoever! However, this is an excellent source of information if you are a hard core gamer and are going to go for the long haul of play.The book includes the original story behind this game - short section. The characters in detail and their options. The Quests, and this is a very good section that does NOT spoil the play. It is a short description with pictures (small) of what to expect and briefly so as not to ruin the play value. Also since the maps regenerate, the Quest section cannot explain it with map detail or any other perfect detail. It is just enough to help you and let you know what to expect. Very detailed charts and listings of potions, spells, etc.. Just what you would expect the book to contain as far as I am concerned. Without this guide, you would miss out on a lot and find things out the hard way, when it is too late! :-)

Excellent Reference Guide for the game

If you opened up the Diablo II manual and found it lacking in information on items, skill levels, and spells then this is the book you want to get. I look at this as more of a reference book than a strategy guide and it is sitting right next to my computer. If you plan on being hardcore with DII you can't just randomly pick and chose your skill sets, you need to go in with a plan of action. The regular manual doesn't give you enough information to do so, but this guide does. Sure you can probably find all that stuff on the web somewhere in the numerous fan sites, but it won't have the ease of use that this guide does. You have your choice, either a ream of printed out webpages or a condensed book with elegantly done tables.

D2 Strategy Guide... Awesome!

If you bought Diablo 2 and are a little lost, or even if you think you know everything there is to know about it you must get this book. It will really help you to understand and beat the game.

This Guide is an essential!

I would recomend that you get this guide, it has listings of armor, weapons, skills, magic, and many others. If your a newbie or a pro this stratigie guide is for you. It has stratigies for desinging your skill tree, and it gives pictures and deatailed decription of what monsters attacks, weaknesses, and health. It also sheds some light on the NPC's backgrounds. For any true DIABLO 2 Player this is for you!
